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

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.

Setting up references in .NET Web Forms with Masterpage

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>

Webserver can't find CSS file

I've tried researching my problem but I can't find anything that answers my question. I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere, all though, I don't know what to specifically search for, therefore, I'd like to apologize in advance.
My code:
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cph_head" runat="server">
<link href="/assets/css/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" runat="server" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//use.edgefonts.net/source-code-pro.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/scripts/modernizr.js"></script>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
As you can see, my stylesheet should have been added there, I've put a slash infront of the path to make sure it works no matter which folder you're in. However, when I put the slash infront of it, it's not working. If I remove the slash it works fine.
I'm using Visual Studio 2012 and I'm working in ASP.NET Webforms. I hope someone can help me. This issue isn't happening on my laptop, even with the same project, but unfortunately it's happening here on my stationary pc.
I hope you can help me, thank you very much in advance.
I assume, thats you master page markup, so try it like this:
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<link href="/assets/css/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" runat="server" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//use.edgefonts.net/source-code-pro.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/scripts/modernizr.js"></script>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cph_head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
The asp:ContentPlaceHolder should stay empty at your master page. it is overridden by what is on you child pages.

AjaxToolkit for 3.5 not working

I am trying to use ajaxtool kit downloaded from here for colorpicker.
When i tries to use this on any of my page, it shows me an error
This page is missing a HtmlHead control which is required for the CSS
stylesheetlink that is being added. Please add <head runat="server" />.
What can be the reason.
I am using ToolScriptManager rather than Script Manager as said in the documentation.
I am using Asp.net 3.5 and using colorPicker control under a content page and adding ToolScript Manager in the same place.
As said by rafel
<head>
<title>l</title>
<link href="<%= ResolveUrl("~/css/style.css") %>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%= ResolveUrl("~/css/chromestyle.css") %>"/>
<script src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/js/JScript.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/js/chrome.js") %>"></script>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
If I adds runat in head i starts getting this error
The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control
contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).
I am getting the same sequence of events that Shantanu was getting. It tells me to add the runat=server to the HEAD when I add the AJAX Control Toolkit ComboBox. So I did that and then it started saying
"The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control
contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)." again just like in Shantanu's case.
If I am reading this correctly, is it saying I cannot use the AJAX Control Toolkit's ComboBox if I have lots of inline code in this aspx file (both in java/inline vb as well as HTML/inline vb)? I mean hey I know our aspx pages are ugly and barely hanging on, but seriously?
You can't use <%= ResolveUrl %> when defining your javascript includes when using the Toolkit. Add the references to the header in your code behind instead.
Ajax control is trying to add its styles to the head section of your page, but cannot do that because it cannot find it. Here's how to fix this:
<head runat="server">
Correct format is : <link rel="Stylesheet" href="~/style.css" type="text/css" />
When using Ajax toolkit, don't use <%...%> in the link to external style sheet. Use above link format.

How to include Javascript file in Asp.Net page

I want to do some client side validation using javascript in ASP.NET page.
I tried using
<script src="../../../JS/Registration.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" />
but its not working.
Please help.
If your page is deeply pathed or might move around and your JS script is at "~/JS/Registration.js" of your web folder, you can try the following:
<script src='<%=ResolveClientUrl("~/JS/Registration.js") %>'
type="text/javascript"></script>
add like
<head runat="server">
<script src="Registration.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
OR can add in code behind.
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("Registration", ResolveUrl("~/js/Registration.js"));
Probably the file is not in the path specified. '../../../' will move 3 step up to the directory in which the page is located and look for the js file in a folder named JS.
Also the language attribute is Deprecated.
See Scripts:
18.2.1 The SCRIPT element
language = cdata [CI]
Deprecated. This attribute specifies
the scripting language of the contents
of this element. Its value is an
identifier for the language, but since
these identifiers are not standard,
this attribute has been deprecated in
favor of type.
Edit
Try changing
<script src="../../../JS/Registration.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" />
to
<script src="../../../JS/Registration.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I assume that you are using MasterPage so within your master page you should have
<head runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
And within any of your pages based on that MasterPage add this
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
<script src="js/yourscript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</asp:Content>
ScriptManager control can also be used to reference javascript files. One catch is that the ScriptManager control needs to be place inside the form tag. I myself prefer ScriptManager control and generally place it just above the closing form tag.
<asp:ScriptManager ID="sm" runat="server">
<Scripts>
<asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/yourscript.min.js" />
</Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>
Use Fiddler to see what is happening. Then change the path accordingly. You will probably find you get a 404 error and the path is wrong.

jQuery calls in external js file with MasterPages

I am using ASP.NET 3.5 with MasterPages. My master page has the script references to jquery and jquery UI. My web page that uses the master page has a script reference for a custom javascript file for that page. This javascript file has jquery calls in it (i.e. document.ready --> set up input boxes as calendars).
When I run the website in debug from Visual Studio, the input boxes are not set as calendars. However, if I copy the script from the external file and include it in a script block in the web page, the input box becomes a calendar.
I also have an element in the child page (not sure if that makes a difference). I have referenced the external javascript file in the ScriptManager and outside of the ScriptManager and neither work.
Why does jQuery not work in an external javascript file when the jQuery script reference resides in the master page?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions but I made a "bone-headed" mistake. The tags were mistakenly still in the external js file. Once removed, everything works as expected. I apologize for taking up everyone's time (and somewhat embarrassed).
Thanks.
Is the external script include below the jquery script? Maybe it's the order in which the scripts are being loaded and run...
Are you sure the reference to the jQuery file in the child object appears in the head of the HTML document?
If not, put a ContentPlaceHolder in the tag and put the references you need in each child page.
