copied!<p>I have a WebForms site which is experiencing issues. Looking in Firebug, I can see that the following line in my master page:</p> <pre><code><link rel="stylesheet" href='<%= ResolveClientUrl("/css/site.css") %>' /> </code></pre> <p>is not "executing" on the server. Therefore, in Firebug I am getting:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/Master_Pages/%3C%25=%20ResolveClientUrl(%22/css/site.css%22)%20%25%3E" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/Master_Pages/%3C%25=%20ResolveClientUrl(%22/css/site.css%22)%20%25%3E</a></p> </blockquote> <p>when I would expect this to be</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/css/site.css" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/css/site.css</a></p> </blockquote> <p>This has worked fine previously, and i've used this technique on other sites and never had a problem, but can't see why this has suddenly stopped working. I've double checked and my head is set to runat=server:</p> <p><code><head runat="server"></code></p> <p>so it should be executing on the server. I've also tried changing it to:</p> <pre><code> <link rel="stylesheet" href=<%= ResolveClientUrl("/css/site.css") %> runat="server" /> </code></pre> <p>Other things I've checked:</p> <ul> <li>That the application pool and website are both targeting the correct and same instance of the .net framework</li> <li>That the application pool has been recycled to ensure its clear</li> <li>That I can hit break-points in my code behind</li> </ul> <p>Can anyone suggest what may be causing this or what things I can check?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
