I just decided to give JuiceUI a try, in order to take advantage of the quick and easy dialog popup. I tried to add the sample code for the dialog control
to a page in my ASP.NET application (I just copied and pasted it from the Juice UI sample page for the dialog control) and got this runtime error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'datepicker._attachDatepicker' is
null or not an object
at line 138 in juice.js
Commented out all the lines of code in juice.js referencing .datepicker, and got
Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'ui.tabs' is null or not an object
commented this out and got the same for ui.dialogs and so on. It looks as though none of the controls are being instantiated. I must be missing some step, but I'm pretty new to this library and to jQuery as well for that matter, so I'm not sure what's going on. For context, I have JuiceUI 1.0.1, installed using the NuGet package manager.
I checked the binary reference in my web applicaiton project, and the reference in web.config and all seem to be as they should.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Answering my own question here. Problem was a stupid javascript rookie mistake. I forgot that the ordering of the references within the page is important. Previously, I had the script references as so:
<script src="../../Scripts/amplify.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.24.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/juice.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This wouldn't work because amplify has a dependency on jquery, so it couldn't be defined first. The problem goes away by reordering them as ...
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.24.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/amplify.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/juice.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Compilers have me spoiled.

I know that when using the ASP.NET MVC 4 it creates a "bundled" collection of the requested files. I also understand that it adds on a version to the end of the collection URL.
I am wondering if it is possible to change or control the generated token?
<script src="/Scripts/test?v=8HZAB6C8ZnrIPYNFzMQKt0AR4AUsUYBjxPPkbGSRIZo1" type="text/javascript"></script>
to become...
<script src="/Scripts/test?v=1.2" type="text/javascript"></script>
Thanks in advance.
It's not possible from what i have been looking at.
This was working on Friday, and now isn't. I've got this at the beginning of a UserControl:
<link type="text/css" href="/App_Themes/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#MainContent_ucSearchControl_dpPickupStart").datepicker();
$("#MainContent_ucSearchControl_dpPickupEnd").datepicker();
});
</script>
And further down, this:
<td><asp:TextBox id="dpPickupStart" runat="server" style="width: 65px"/></td>
<td><asp:TextBox id="dpPickupEnd" runat="server" style="width: 65px"/></td>
Which results in (in the rendered page) input controls with:
name="ctl00$ctl00$MainContent$ucSearchControl$dpPickupStart" id="MainContent_ucSearchControl_dpPickupStart"
name="ctl00$ctl00$MainContent$ucSearchControl$dpPickupEnd" id="MainContent_ucSearchControl_dpPickupEnd"
And yet, every time the page loads, I get an Object Expected javascript error which points to the $(document).ready location.
What am I missing?
EDIT: Firebug is reporting that:
$ is not defined
[Break On This Error] $(document).ready(function () {
Being a user control you cannot guarantee that the relative path to your JS files will always be correct depending on the location of the parent page in the file system hierarchy.
Therefore change you JS script tags as follows to use the Control.ResolveUrl method which converts a URL into one that is usable on the requesting client.
<script src='<%=ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src='<%=ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.custom.min.js")%>' type="text/javascript"></script>
Or reference from a CDN for added performace bonus of caching.
jQuery hosted on google
jQuery UI hosted on google
That error is caused due to Jquery not available. I think Swaff's solution should work(+1). Check if you have the Jquery-1.5.1.min.js file is available in Scripts folder of your solution. Or it could also be that your Scripts folder is renamed.
HTH.
I have a very strange problem in an ASP.NET page, the following reference of JavaScript file works well in IE6
<script src='~/Scripts/xxx.js' type="text/javascript"></script>
But not working in IE7/8, I got object required error when load the page
change to the following works:
<script src='<%# ResolveUrl ("~/Scripts/xxx.js") %>' type="text/javascript"></script>
Can anyone explain? Thanks.
~/ is not going to be anything the browser knows about, it needs to be a relative path or an absolute one. The ResolveUrl method take an asp.net path and creates one the browser can understand.
Use this:
<script src="<%= Response.ApplyAppPathModifier("~/Scripts/xxx.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
Basically, the "~" is a way to refer to the application's home directory, but it is only understood by ASP.NET. You can call the function I listed above to translate that into a real HTTP path.
I'm trying to add a script reference to jQuery in my master page so that it will work for any page. It currently looks like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
The problem is that the path is always relative to the executing aspx page so this will only work if the "jquery.js" file is located in the same folder. To make it work I have to change the line to:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery.js"></script>
This is obviously less than ideal because it will only work for pages that are two levels deep from the root folder. If I try the following, IIS throws an error about an unexpected character.
<script runat="server" type="text/javascript" src="~/jquery.js"></script>
Any ideas?
EDIT: I forgot to mention as well that the script MUST be in the head tag
The current top answer throws a "ASP.NET Ajax client-side framework failed to load." error when I add it to my master page. Its thrown from javascript and not the .Net compiler. If I move the ScriptManager to the head section where it should be I get a compile error about the ScriptManager needing to be inside a form tag.
The third answer throws a "Illegal characters in path." exception from the compiler
EDIT 2: When I add that line to my head tag I get this error from IIS.
The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)
SOLVED: I took the edited response from the answer below and put it inside an asp:ContentPlaceHolder element
You could use a ScriptManager:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="~/jquery.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>
EDIT: If you absolutely need this in your <head> section, you could do something like:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/jquery.js") %>"></script>
</head>
EDIT 2: According to the comments, if you are observing that
The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)
you may need to change the above to use the data-binding syntax:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="<%# Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/jquery.js") %>"></script>
</head>
Try <%# instead of <%= in Master page under head section
<script type="text/javascript"
src="<%# ResolveUrl("~/YourScriptFolder/YourJQueryOrJavascript.js") %>">
</script>
Then in Code Behind of Master page under Page_Load Event
Page.Header.DataBind();
Now you are good to go with either jQuery and JavaScript as well as CSS just you need to change your path in ResolveUrl which file you want to handle CSS, JavaScript, jQuery.
If you're not going to us asp:ScriptManager or absolute paths then you can do it like this:
<script runat="server" type="text/javascript"
src='<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/jquery.js") %>'></script>
I do not know whether you guys found the solution to your problem or not. I was facing the same problem and going nuts to figure out why do I get "jQuery is undefined" error on the plugins i use. I tried all the solutions i get from the internet but no luck at all.
But, suddenly something splash on my mind that may be the script files should be in order. So, I moved the jquery referece to first position and everything start working like charm.
Remember guys, if you're using any plugins with jquery, make sure you use the folloing order of setting reference to those fiels.
reference to the jquery library
reference to the other subsequent plug-in libraries and so on...
e.g.:
"script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"...
"script src="js/jqDnR.min.js" type="text/javascript"...
"script src="js/jquery.jqpopup.min.js" type="text/javascript"...
"script src="js/jquery.bgiframe.min.js" type="text/javascript"...
Always make sure you must put the jquery reference to first and then the subsequent libraries.
Hope, this solves your problem especially when you use with MasterPages. Its very strange that it works no matter what order you use when you don't use MasterPages but when you do, then it somehow requres the proper order.
Good luck and happy coding,

Look at How to Run a Root “/”. This should fix all your issues regarding unresolved .js file paths. You basically reconfigure the VS Dev server to run your application as localhost:port/ as opposed to the regular localhost:port/application name/ making name resolution work the same way as it does on IIS.
For absolute path of the file for any page use it following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/jquery.js") %>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/full/path/to/jquery.js"></script>
If this script tag goes directly to the browser, then you unlikely can substitute your site's root there. At least not on the server. So you can:
Deploy site to the root of domain
name and use absolute paths
(simplest solution).
Insert this
link with server control.
Preprocess resulting HTML before
sending it to the client (with
HttpResponse.Filter).
You can also use <base> HTML tag:
<base href="http://www.domain.com"></base>
and then all the links in header section are relative to base address:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.js"></script>
It's often useful when you have multiple publishing destinations, like local dev web server, demo server, etc. You just replace that base URL.
<body>
<script language="javascript" src='<%= this.ResolveClientUrl("~/full/path/to/jquery.js") %>' type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
I am using the ASP.NET Client-Side ajax control toolkit in my asp.net MVC application. I see that there is a .js file named "AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopup.ModalPopupBehavior.js" in the AjaxControlToolkit folder. However, I cannot find any examples on how to use it.
[Edit] -
As mentioned, I am using the Client-side, Script-only control toolkit. For those unfamiliar, here is the description from CodePlex:
AjaxControlToolkit-ScriptFilesOnly.zip
contains script files, CSS style
sheets and pictures used by the
toolkit. Use this download if you
don't want to use embedded resources
and prefer a file-based model.
I have not been able to find many resources on how to use some of the scripts included with this.
CodePlex link: http://www.codeplex.com/AjaxControlToolkit/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx
Yestarday I had the same need to use the popup extender and here are the js files which you should include first.
<script src="javascripts/MicrosoftAjax.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.Compat.Timer.Timer.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.Common.Common.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.ExtenderBase.BaseScripts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.Animation.Animations.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.DropShadow.DropShadowBehavior.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.DynamicPopulate.DynamicPopulateBehavior.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascripts/AjaxControlToolkit/AjaxControlToolkit.PopupExtender.PopupBehavior.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The next step is to create the PopupBehavior from javascript like that:
$create(AjaxControlToolkit.PopupControlBehavior, {"PopupControlID":"div_to_popup","Position":3}, null, null, $get("textbox_input_id"));
If you need to use another control from the AjaxControlToolkit with scripts only without the burden of asp, here is one easy way to find the necessary include js files.
Go to its demo page here and look at the source of the page. At the bottom you will see how to create the control. To find the include files needed for this control select CombineScriptsHandler.ashx and search for "//START". Every line with "//START" shows a script which is included in the page.
Check out the AJAX Toolkit samples. There are live demos, walkthroughs and documentation.
