Hi Imar,

I had a question on how to add a reference to the script files from your pages.

On p. 369, your able to add a reference using <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"

I tried to do following for pluging...
<script src="~/scripts/jquery.updnWatermark.js" ...... ></script>

I get an error when I do this. Why can't I use the "~" in the path?

Thanks.
Tulsi

Hi there,

The ~ syntax works for server side controls, and the ASP.NET runtime converts it to a path that works at the cliient. A <script> element is a client side element, and as such doesn't support the ~ syntax.

Cheers,

Imar
