Referencing a custom external javascript file in asp.net mvc 3

Question

Hi I'm trying to pull some javascript on a page off of the page and putting it into an external javascript file for reusability.

Just as a test I'm just trying to display an alert text box but even that's not working.

Here's what I have so far.

Page with the javascript

EDIT: Ignore the type="text/javascript" that wasn't the problem

enter image description here

Here's the actual content of the script.js

enter image description here

File Structure from the site root

enter image description here

Honestly it looks like it should work but whenever I run the page in the browser I'm getting this error.

enter image description here

I know that the path is correct, but what am I missing?

Can you make sure you can see the script.js file in Firebug and that the contents are what you expect? — Marek Karbarz

Looks like some simple javascript syntax errors; missing semicolons. You can use JSLint to find those. This should work (Assuming that jQuery is loading before your other two scripts):

Your 'script.js':

var projectApi = function() {};

projectApi.prototype.HelloWorld = function() {
    alert('Hello World');
};

Your page javascript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var api = new projectApi();
    api.HelloWorld();
});
