Asp.net MVC Razor - Custom javascript inside if block

Question

How can I put javascript code inside if block.

@{
    #if DEBUG
    $("#User").val("JDoe");
    $("#Password").val("secrect");
    #endif
}

When I try above code I get this compiler error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1056: Unexpected character '$'

And if I change $ to jQuery:

Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'jQuery' does not exist in the current context

In my opinion it's a bug in Razor parser. How can I workaround that?

Wrap the javascript code within tag.

@{(if DEBUG)
    **<text>**
    $("#User").val("JDoe");
    $("#Password").val("secrect");
   **</text>**
}

This is a better answer, since <text> pseudo tag works in more cases.Eg., it could work with for loops too.
