Dynamically referencing a javascript file

Question

Kinda related to my first question, my site runs fine locally but as soon as I deploy to IIS the javascript file/s are not being called properly.

In the <head> tag of my Master page:

<script src='/Assets/jquery-1.4.2.min.js' type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src='/Assets/hoverIntent.js' type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src='/Assets/superfish.js' type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src='/Assets/supersubs.js' type="text/javascript"></script>

This works on visual studio dev server but not on IIS. I tried adding ~ and saying runat="server" but it just gives some jquery error ("Unexpected character '\'" on Line 18 of the minified jquery) when trying to run it.

Have you tried browsing to the paths above in your browser? the / at the start means you're defining absolute paths, so check they're still valid. eg yourhost/Assets/hoverIntent.js — Simon Halsey

Use Page.ResovleUrl for all of your files:

<script src='<%# Page.ResolveUrl("~/Assets/jquery-1.4.2.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>

Does your <Head> tag have runat="server"?
