Hi Imar,

In the exercise, p. 377 #2, a new contentPlaceHolder with id="cpClientScript" is added to hold JQuery/javascript specific to the page.

If I move all this script info to an external .js file, would it be correct practice to just replace all this script code with a <script> reference to the external file? So For example,

<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpClientScript" Runat="Server">

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Index.js></script>

</asp:Content>

Thanks.

Tulsi

Hi Tulsi,

For script that is specific to a single, or only a few pages: yes, absolutely.

For generic scripts, just add them to the master page.

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imar,

I just tried this out with the signup.aspx page. I added some javascript to this page to add the functionality described in one of your articles, "Check existance of ASP.NET Username with AJAX".

I moved all this javascript to SignUp.js file and it works great!

As always, thank you so much for your quick responses. It makes learning so much more exciting and easier!
