The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)?

Q. Is there another way to code this in ASP because it gives me a Code Block error residing in the HEAD of our Master Page?

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("/scripts/JScript.js") %>"></script>

Error: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)?

Replace:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("/scripts/JScript.js") %>"></script>

Open in new window

with

<asp:Literal runat="server" id="ScriptReference" />

Open in new window

Then in your code behind do:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     ScriptReference.Text = "<script type='text/javascript' src=' + Page.ResolveClientUrl("/scripts/JScript.js") "'></script>";
}

Open in new window

Hi

If you place a placeholder in the head section like this

<head>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="MyScriptPH" runat="server" />
</head>

Open in new window

Then in the Page_Load section (or where ever you want it to be) add this

Dim objPH As New PlaceHolder()

objPH = Master.FindControl("MyScriptPH")

Dim objScript As New HtmlGenericControl("script")

objScript.Attributes.Add("type", "text/javascript")
objScript.Attributes.Add("src", Page.ResolveClientURL("/scripts/JScript.js"))

objPH.Controls.Add(objScript)

Open in new window

will this work? <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/JScript.js" />

Error: Too many characters in character literal

ScriptReference.Text = "<script type='text/javascript' src=' + Page.ResolveClientUrl("/scriptz/JScript.js") "'></script>";
