  1. POWhy does ~/ not work inside script references?
    text
    copied!<p>I am using jQuery for my ASP.NET project. I just realized, that it does only work, if the navigation depth is not as deep. For example</p> <ul> <li><code>http://localhost/myapp/index/</code> works</li> <li><code>http://localhost/myapp/index/sites/sub/</code> does not work</li> </ul> <p>The error I encountered was caused by jQuery. Firebug told me, that</p> <blockquote> <p><code>$</code> is not defined.</p> </blockquote> <p>After some research, I changed my meta definitions like this:</p> <pre class="lang-asp.net prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/Css/style.css" /&gt; &lt;script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="~/Scripts/jquery.uniform.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Still, it did not work. After I took a look into the server response, the <code>href</code> of the CSS link got replaced correctly:</p> <pre class="lang-asp.net prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../Css/style.css" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, for my script ressources the relative path hasn't been replaced:</p> <pre class="lang-asp.net prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="~/Scripts/jquery.uniform.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>I expected something like <code>../../Scripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js</code>.</p> <p>Is this wanted behaviour? How should I setup application root references for script resources, correctly? Would writing <code>/Scripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js</code> work when I am hosting my website as web application in IIS?</p>
