Adding a JS file to a masterpage

Question

I want to add a JS file to the masterpage, but for some reason I can't get it to load.  I've tried placing it in PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead area, as well as using SharePoint:ScriptLink, but with SharePoint:ScriptLink I get the the error:

Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1033/blah/blah.js", file not found. Please verify that the file exists under the layouts directory.

Of course I don't want the file to live in the layouts directory as it's only for one website and not the whole farm.  So JS file just lives in Style Library/Scripts/ of that Site Collection.  Any thoughts in how I can bring it in?  Thanks!

Hi 

Create a folder "JS" in your "Style Library" folder of your site

// in case of root site

<script type="text/ecmascript" src="/style library/js/Myjs.js" />

// in case of other site

 

<script type="text/ecmascript" src="/sites/[sitename]/style library/js/Myjs.js" />

and you can cross check the accesibility by opening the url in browser 

 

http://<servername>/style library/js/Myjs.js

http://<servername>/sites/[sitename]/style library/js/Myjs.js" />

It's not in the layouts, it's just in the style library of that site collection.  Basically, http://servername/Style%20Library/Scripts/hi.js

I tried this code and it gives that error.

<SharePoint:ScriptLink language="javascript" name="/Style%20Library/Scripts/hi.js" defer="true" runat="server"/>

Answer 3

Ok nevermind, I found it on Google.  Here's what I had to use to get it to read into Style Library folder.

 

<SharePoint:Scriptlink language="javascript" name="~sitecollection/Style Library/Scripts/hi.js" runat="server" />
