Setting up references in .NET Web Forms with Masterpage - asp.net

This might be something simple for many but for me it's still a huge confusion web. I'm tired of placing references everywhre on master page and normal pages so I'm just going to ask here. I have a project which uses plugins and I want to set references on Master Page so the normal pages can see those references so I don't need to place them on each page one by one. Question is, I'm doing this but why does it not work?
Example
This is My Master Page
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="AdminLTE/bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="AdminLTE/bower_components/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="AdminLTE/bower_components/Ionicons/css/ionicons.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="AdminLTE/dist/css/AdminLTE.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="AdminLTE/bower_components/datatables.net-bs/css/dataTables.bootstrap.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="AdminLTE/dist/css/skins/skin-blue.min.css" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PageBody" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<script src="AdminLTE/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="AdminLTE/bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="AdminLTE/bower_components/datatables.net/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script src="AdminLTE/bower_components/datatables.net-bs/js/dataTables.bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="AdminLTE/dist/js/adminlte.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/MasterPage/main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
And in another page i'm using jquery table where I set the DataTable to Table ID with
<script>
$(function () {
$.noConflict();
$("#tblRegistos").DataTable();
});
</script>
And still it says it doesn't recognize DataTable as a function. Script references are in order by the way because it works on the page but not if on master page
EDIT
I just tried to put scripts in the Head of master page and it worked but i tried to avoid this because I read that it's a bad practice to do...

It's because your script tags in the child pages will be rendered before your files. Add the js content of your script tags to .js files and reference them on the master page after main.js.
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/MasterPage/main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/OtherPage/otherPage.js"></script>

CSS, JS folders and webpages in folders problem as per role

I developed a web application and all my web pages were on root. here is my folder structure.
-Solution
.....js
.......xyz.js
.....css
.......abc.css
Page1.aspx
Page2.aspx
Page3.aspx
AppMaster.Master
Page4.aspx (please note they are lying on root)
Page5.aspx (please note they are lying on root)
I have referenced my css and js in masterpage like this.
<script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="css/sprystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/jquery.datepick.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="js/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="css/scrollable-wizard.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="js/livevalidation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/qTip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.contactable.packed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/autoLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.metadata.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/autoNumeric-1.6.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.blockUI.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Now when i implemented roles to implement page access security via web.config deny users I have placed the pages like this.
-Solution
.....js
.....css
-Admin
....Page1.aspx
....Page2.aspx
-Users
....Page3.aspx
Page4.aspx
Page5.aspx
But since I've changed the folder structure I am keep getting object expected due to javascript and css is not working either. What should I do now as I am not referencing css and js specifically in every content page. Some pages will be inside specific folders and some will be on root so in this scenario how should I change the css and js location references.
Thanks
Just put a slash in front of each URL to reference them relative to the root:
<link href="/css/sprystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

aspx ~ problem with JS

why in aspx ~ not working when i try to use it in JS
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/js/jQuery/jquery-ui.min.1.7.3.js"></script>
in source code is the same ~/js
but with CSS works
<link href="~/css/confirm.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
"~/" -substitution for the application root in ASP.NET, should work only with ASP.NET server controls
For example in ASP.NET MVC you may go like that:
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/Css/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Content/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
You can view method Url.Content (System.Web.Mvc.dll, v4.0.30319, class UrlHelper) in Reflector.
Or you may try like that:
<link href="/Content/Css/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="/Content/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
~ only works for server controls, AFAIK. Don't know why it works for your CSS include.

jQuery object expected error in asp.net page with master site

The error i get seems to be centered around jquery finding what it's in (window,document, etc.). Right now i'm just trying to implement the jQuery datepicker. the project has a master page, where i placed my script references.
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<link href="~/Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="Styles/jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.css" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.datePicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/date.js"></script>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="HeadContent" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
in my aspx file for the page i am trying to implement the date picker, the code looks like this.
i placed this in the header place holder
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(window).ready(function () {
$("#<%=this.tbTestPass.ClientID %>").datePicker();
});
</script>
This is the asp control i am trying to apply the datepicker to.
<asp:TextBox ID="tbTestPass" runat="server" Width="120px"></asp:TextBox>
I have tried document and window for jquery context, but they both throw the same error. What noob mistake am i making?
Verify Jquery(.js) file folder path is resolved properly from the application as well as in the IIS.
i had the same situation, i had Jquery.js file under Scripts folder(Scripts/Jquery.js).
but when i went to iis, i am not able to see the Scripts folder.
later i came to know there there is an Script virtual directory in IIS when is taking precedence over the local Script folder.
found that linking to http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js fixed the object missing. pointing to a local file was not working. not sure why, but this will do and suit my needs i think.

Can't find my functions?

I've been trying to find out what's going on with my page for more than an hour.. What I'm trying to do here is to call a javascript function when the page loads, but for some reason it says "object required" then its pointing to my onload event in the body tag. This is what I have..
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<!-- JAVASCRIPT -->
<script src="JScript/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="JScript/stepcarousel.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="JScript/Carousel.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="JScript/TopNav.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- CSS -->
<link href="Style/audiorage.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="Style/carousel.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="Style/tabs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<title>Audio Rage - Home</title>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:TopNavPageInitialize();">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<!-- HIDDENFIELDS & SCRIPTS -->
<input type="hidden" value="Main Navigation" id="hdnTabActiveOnLoad" />
and I have this files in this structure
localhost/mytest/JScript/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js
localhost/mytest/JScript/stepcarousel.js
localhost/mytest/JScript/Carousel.js
localhost/mytest/JScript/TopNav.js
localhost/mytest/mypage.aspx
My TopNav.JS has this function
function TopNavPageInitialize()
I also get "Unexpected call to method or property access." in my carousel but I'm not really worried about it I think if I can fix this maybe that 2nd error that I'm getting can be fixed. Thanks!
I'm confused. What am I missing. Thanks.
Since you're using jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Your code here
});
use that or
$(window).load(function () {
// run code
});
that--depending on what you're going for.
Ready just means the dom is ready but images aren't loaded. Load means everything is done loading.
Of course, it sounds like you've got other issues. But this is a much better option than using inline onload events.
like?
$(window).load(function() {
alert('x');
});
$(window).load(function funcName() {
alert('x');
});
both says object expected
It looks to me like your scripts aren't loading properly.
To really see what's going on use either Firebug in Firefox, or the developer tools (press F12) in IE8. (If you're still using IE7/6 google IE Developer Toolbar - it will be a start).
Once you're using one of those, you can then see what scripts are being loaded, or whether you're getting 404's or similar for them.
Also, as an aside, you don't need the
language="javascript"
attributes any more.

Can't get thickbox to work if it is linking from a masterpage?

I have a page called test.aspx and in that page, I have the following link:
<a href="../help/default.aspx?height=100&width=500"
class="thickbox">
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnHelp"
runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/needhelp.jpg" /></a>
When I click on the link, it opens up the default.aspx page under help in a new window instead of the thickbox.
In my masterpage, I have the following in the head for the thickbox:
<head runat="server">
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../js/thickbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<title>Details</title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<link href="styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="styles/RoundDiv.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="styles/thickbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
If I put it the script directly on the test.aspx, it works fine, but not when I have it in the masterpage.
First thing to do is ensure the thickbox.js file is being served correctly when linked from the masterpage. Either use firebug or fiddler2 to establish if the file is requested and the response is a 200.
I suspect you need the following to reference thickbox...but its been ages since I had to hack around with aspx..
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/js/thickbox.js") %>"></script>
