I'm working in SharePoint 2010 Designer to create a custom page layout. I've added a SharePointWebControls:ScriptLink control but am not sure what the path is to my jQuery library. It's uploaded to the root collection's Site Assets, in subfolders /js/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.min.js.

The absolute URL to it is http://vmdev195/SiteAssets/js/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.min.js. Is there a way to give a relative path to this file in the ScriptLink control? This way the page will work on different servers that have the same folder/file structure. Thanks

If you're working in SharePoint Designer, then you can use a plain old tag instead and reference the .js file anywhere you want:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/Scripts/jquery.SPServices-0.6.2.min.js"></script>

Any relative path will work, whether it's in _layouts, a Document Library, or an external CDN.

Thanks, Marc. That worked beautifully :) For some reason, I forgot that the client-side options are available in asp:Content areas. Plus, Designer allows you to pick the file and it'll generate the path automatically. Very nice. – Alex C Aug 4 '11 at 14:18

Have you tried this?

<%@ Register TagPrefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls"
Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

<!-- ... -->

<SharePoint:ScriptLink runat="server" Name="/SiteAssets/js/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.min.js" Localizable="false" />

Thanks, omlin. I've seen the SharePoint:ScriptLink tag but couldn't figure out what the difference is between that and the SharePointWebControls:ScriptLink tag. – Alex C Aug 4 '11 at 10:27
That doesn't work; it throws this error, even though the file is there: Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1033//siteassets/global/js/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.min.js", file not found. Please verify that the file exists under the layouts directory. What does work is this: sensoft2000-sharepoint.blogspot.com/2009/09/…. Not the most convenient way to do it, but it works. – Alex C Aug 4 '11 at 10:50

Alex, I'm afraid you simply forget about Localizable="false" attribute.. That's why you're getting "1033" attached in front of the url. – Andrey Markeev Aug 5 '11 at 7:43
Thanks, omlin. Very helpful tip. – Alex C Aug 6 '11 at 5:37
