Code blocks on aspx page

Question

I couldn't use javascript on my page, have "Code blocks are not allowed in this file". I added

<PageParserPaths>    
    <PageParserPath VirtualPath="/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" IncludeSubFolders="true" />    
</PageParserPaths>

into C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.config on my Server, by nothing changed. Help plz, what's the problem?

Answer 1

Are you trying to use <script/> blocks with the runat attribute set to true - which means that the script should be executed on the server side, or are you trying to just do client side JavaScripts?

If it is the first one, I strongly discourages you to do it this way. Allowing code blocks like this and modifying the web.config file to allow it is opening your farm up for all kinds of vulnerabilities and performance degradation. There is a reason for this being prohibited by default. If you really need code running in the pages, make a real codebehind solution. That is create a class deriving from Page (or any of the SharePoint derivatives).

If it's the latter case, remove the runat="true" attribute on your script tags.

Answer 2

If you're using Master Page Gallery, please use

VirtualPath="/_mpg/*"

Answer 3

Use the following code if your Page layouts are located in the Master Page Gallery.

 <PageParserPaths>
        <PageParserPath VirtualPath="/_catalogs/masterpage/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" />
 </PageParserPaths>
