    <p>I've successfully created an mvc/razor web application that returns css files that have been parsed by razor. Each time there's a background-image I have a razor snippet that writes the URL prefix to the image file name. The CSS now looks like this:</p> <pre><code>body { background-image: url(@LookupUrl.Image("background.gif")); } </code></pre> <p>Css files now work fine and I've moved onto trying to get javascript .js files to function the same way but these aren't playing ball.</p> <p>The code is identical to the css code and it successfully finds the .js file, but razor seems to parse it differently. Here's an example js file:</p> <pre><code>function testFunction() { alert('test function hit!'); } testFunction(); </code></pre> <p>Razor seems to think it's code that it should compile, and gives the error:</p> <pre><code>Compiler Error Message: JS1135: Variable 'alert' has not been declared &gt; Source Error: &gt; &gt; Line 1: function testFunction() { &gt; Line 2: alert('test function &gt; hit!'); Line 3: } Line 4: &gt; testFunction(); </code></pre> <p>After renaming the same file to .css it works fine.</p> <p>Is there a way of getting razor to function with .js files in the same way as it does for .css? </p> <p>Here's how I registered the file handlers for razor:</p> <pre><code>RazorCodeLanguage.Languages.Add("js", new CSharpRazorCodeLanguage()); RazorCodeLanguage.Languages.Add("css", new CSharpRazorCodeLanguage()); WebPageHttpHandler.RegisterExtension(".js"); WebPageHttpHandler.RegisterExtension(".css"); </code></pre> <p>The build provider is registered in PreApplicationStart via the method Haacked outlines in <a href="http://haacked.com/archive/2010/05/16/three-hidden-extensibility-gems-in-asp-net-4.aspx" rel="nofollow">his blog post</a>.</p> <p>Do I need to remove a handler that mvc adds for .js files?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2 days on</strong></p> <p>While I got working what I wanted to get working, I would not recommend this method to others. Using Razor to parse css/javascript is flawed without the use of &lt;text&gt;&lt;text/&gt; - it's the simplicity of razor using the @ ampersand that messes it up. Consider the CSS3 @font-face. Razor hits the @ and thinks it should use it as a function. The same thing can happen with javascript, and happened with Jquery 1.5.1. </p> <p>Instead, I'll probably go back to aspx webforms for dynamic css/javascript, where there's less chance of the &lt;% %> code blocks appearing naturally. </p>

    1. COI've been able to do what you want (using `@LookupUrl.Image("background.gif")` inside javascript) using <script> tags on the view itself, haven't thought about using this inside a .js file though. Good question!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
