ASP.NET MVC - Calling javascript function from another script does not work in view

I am using ASP.NET MVC and I have a javascript file in ~Scripts/bundle/build.js. The file is generated with webpack, which renders a bunch of ES6 javascript files in Scripts. I am loading bundle.js first and then calling the function in a different script like this:
// #Scripts.Render("~/bundles/Webpack")
<script src="~/Scripts/build/bundle.js"></script>
<script>
connectToVnc();
</script>
(first line is commented, I have tried loading the script using bundles in BundleConfig.cs).
I get the error connectToVnc is not defined, even though it is defined in bundle.js.
What am I doing wrong?

How to properly reference javascript files in to asp.net master page?

I am getting problem in referencing Javascript file.
My all js files reside in my js folder:MyProject/Js/*.js
Now on my master page i am refering my file like this:
<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-1.9.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Error showing in console:
SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'.
On searching i have found that this issue comes due to inappropriate referencing of js files so i have resolve this error by doing this:
<script src="../js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="../js/jquery-1.9.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This above solution works when my .aspx page would be like this:
MyProject/Admin/Abc.aspx //This will work
But problem will occur when any of my .aspx page would be like such:
MyProject/Admin/Subfolder/Abc.aspx // This will not work
My Abc.aspx page contains master page but now in this case this will not load my js files due to ../
So can anybody tell me whats the correct way to reference js files which will work in both the cases??
Note:I am referencing all js files in to my master page and my master page is in:
MyProject/MasterPage.Master

I think you can give a try:
1) Use Bundling to reduce the loading time (Your script will be shorter as well)
2) Use ~/ instead of ../ to make your script/code work even if you relocate the pages.
You can easily find the scripts and codes of jquery bundle if you create a new ASP.NET application in Visual Studio.

Rails and JavaScript: Can't add .erb extension

I have a JavaScript file called users.js and it is in app/assets/javascripts/users.js. I have it load in a single page using
<%= javascript_include_tag params[:controller] %>
I was thinking of using some Ruby code in the JavaScript file, so I changed the filename to users.js.erb. But when I do, the file shows up in my SublimeText project view as users.js.erb.js, and when I run my Rails app, I get a 404 error saying users.js.js couldn't be found.
Help? Thx.

From my perspective, this is not a rails problem, but a problem with the editor you use. Check the file information in finder with cmd-i and change it back to users.js.erb.

javascript object expexted

I am unable to call a javascript function as it says "Object Expected". I am using asp.net and this is being used on a standard aspx page with some usercontrols. One of the user controls called CookieControl calls a javascript method setandCheckCookie() on document.ready.i.e
$(document).ready(function() {
setandCheckCookie();
)};
In the head section on my aspx page I have reference the javascript file before I add the control:
<script src="CookiesControl/js/Cookie.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<uc2:Cookie ID="Cookie1" runat="server" />
I've event tried adding the script reference on the user control itself but when I go to my aspx page I get the object expected error.
I don't believe its the control or the js file as both these are used elsewhere in the website and they work fine but something I'm doing is stopping the js file from being reference because in firebug and IE debugger I can't see the referenced js file.
Perhaps the path is incorrect but I have dragged the script from the solution explorer and visual studio isn't complaining about the path either.
So my question is: what could potentially stop my javascript file from being referenced.

Visual Studio complaining or not about a path is not always saying what you'll get in the browser. To check if the script is referenced ok, try to get the script file in the browser. For example, if you page is at http://yoursite/yourpage.aspx and your script reference in the html code (by View Source, not what you see in Visual Studio) is folder/scriptFile.js, put this address http://yoursite/folder/scriptFile.js and see if you get the file. If not, then it is not referenced ok.
To solve issues like that, put the full path after yoursite, like:
<script src="/ScriptVirtualFolder/CookiesControl/js/Cookie.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
where ScriptVirtualFolder is in your site root folder, and it is a virtual folder, means it is accessible by the browser in this path.
Also, you can use asp.net to resolve your path by using the ~ sign and runat='server'. For example:
<script src="~/ScriptServerFolder/CookiesControl/js/Cookie.js" type="text/javascript" runat="server"></script>

Calling external .js from ASP.NET MVC

I'm JavaScript newbie. What I'd like to be able to do is to call a function from .js file sitting in ASP.NET MVC project's scripts folder.
The function is:
function myfunction() {
alert("HELLO");
}
...and it resides in file brfix.js
On a viewpage I call it like this:
<script src="../../Scripts/brfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
myfuntion();
});
</script>
But the code doesn't work. However, if I place js-code directly onto the viewpage, it works, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("HELLO");
});
</script>
How to call a file-based js function? Could some JavaScript-Big-Kahuna help me out? =)

If that code is pasted directly from your source code, you have a typo so that'd be why it doesn't work!
your function is called myfunction(), but you're calling myfuntion()
you should enable js errors in your browser when developing. You don't say which browser you're using. For IE it's in Tools - Options - Advanced. Uncheck the "disable script debugging" options. In firefox I'd use something like FireBug as Dror says, if memory serves there are things that appear in the event of a javascript error. If you are still having problems I would try installing Fiddler2 (in IE) and building a request for the js file and see what comes back.
Another option would be to put a debugger; call just before you call your function, you should then be able to step through the javascript.

It may be that the reference to the external file is wrong:
<script src="../../Scripts/brfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Make sure the reference is correct.
You can try by using view source to see the actual location ../../Scripts/brfix.js gets translated to in the final page.
You can also try with FireBug of FireFox.

If your mvc site is the root site in iis you can start the script src with a slash to get to the scripts. otherwise you can use an asp:ScriptManager to include the scripts

As other posters have mentioned, there is a typo. However...
Check out the Url.Content() method for referencing your site content. (images, scripts, etc...) Using ../.. isn't reliable, especially if you have varying levels of depth in your URLs or your application lives in a subdirectory.
Here's a helper I use in most of my projects, for example:
public static string Script(this HtmlHelper Html, string url)
{
UrlHelper Url = new UrlHelper(new RequestContext(Html.ViewContext.HttpContext, Html.ViewContext.RouteData));
string html = "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{0}\"></script>";
return string.Format(html, Url.Content(url));
}
And here it is being called:
<%= Html.Script("~/public/js/blah.js") %>

I had the same problem and it turned out that I had a few js files that weren't being found. If your MVC project structure is the default VS setup and your View page is in Home for example, then I think below will find the file:
<script src="../Scripts/brfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
But even if that one is found other js files not being found caused my $(document).ready not to work. Check your page in Firefox's Firebug, if a file isn't found you will see html markup with a message saying a resource could not be found, located underneath the offending reference. Once I resolved all the js references then my $(document).ready worked.
Strangely VS was telling me it couldn't find the js files when the references were correct, and wasn't flagging the problem when the references were incorrect.
