The name 'Url' does not exist in the current context error in asp.net

Question

I have the following line of code in an asp.net page:

$("#example").editable('<%=Url.Action("UpdateSettings","Admin") %>');

In document.read (javascript), but visual studio throwns an error when I try to compile it:

Error 2 The name 'Url' does not exist in the current context

Any ideas why this would happen?

What version of MVC are you using? Are yo using web forms or razor views?

Razor Syntax

$("#example").editable('@Url.Action("UpdateSettings","Admin")');

Appranetly identical error over at asp.net forums. Do you have system.web.mvc referenced in your app?
