Hello everyone,

I want to be able to call external js file in mvc 5 _layout page, i have done a few researches on google, but no success, below is my code in the _Layout Head section:

JavaScript

<!-- start: MAIN JAVASCRIPTS -->
        <!--[if lt IE 9]>
            <script src="~/assets/plugins/respond.min.js"></script>
            <script src="~/assets/plugins/excanvas.min.js"></script>
            <script type="text/javascript" src="~/assets/plugins/jQuery-lib/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <![endif]-->
        <!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/jQuery-lib/2.0.3/jquery.min.js")"></script>
        <!--<![endif]-->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/jquery-ui/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.min.js")"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js")"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/bootstrap-hover-dropdown/bootstrap-hover-dropdown.min.js")"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/blockUI/jquery.blockUI.js")"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/iCheck/jquery.icheck.min.js")"></script>
        
        <!-- end: MAIN JAVASCRIPTS -->

        <script>
            jQuery(document).ready(function () {
                Main.init();
                Index.init();
            });
        </script>

        @RenderSection("JavaScript", required : false)
        @RenderSection("CSS", required : false)

bottom of the _LayoutPage i have this:

JavaScript

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/assets/plugins")
@RenderSection("Scripts", required : false)

Then in my View page i have this:

JavaScript

@section JavaScript
{

    <!-- start: JAVASCRIPTS REQUIRED FOR THIS PAGE ONLY -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/flot/jquery.flot.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/flot/jquery.flot.pie.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/flot/jquery.flot.resize.min.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/jquery.sparkline/jquery.sparkline.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/jquery-easy-pie-chart/jquery.easy-pie-chart.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/jquery-ui-touch-punch/jquery.ui.touch-punch.min.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/plugins/fullcalendar/fullcalendar/fullcalendar.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/assets/js/index.js")">
        
    </script>
    <!-- end: JAVASCRIPTS REQUIRED FOR THIS PAGE ONLY -->
}

i will appreciate if anyone could correct what i did wrong, thanks.

If you're view is referenced to Layout page, then you'd be able to access the JS files.

Solution 1

You are trying to use jQuery before it is defined. Move your js code to below where you include your script files, or put that code in a js file rather than on the layout and include it after you include jquery etc. You'll have the same issue with the scripts in your JavaScript section, they are also being included before jquery is. Your scripts are loaded and processed in order so where they appear on the page is important.

please can you give any example?

Example of what? You just need to re-order where your includes happen such that something isn't included before the thing it is referencing. So jquery plug-ins can't appear before jquery itself etc.
