Asp.Net script in external js file
asp.net, javascript, jquery
Solution
You'll need to have an inline script block that creates a JavaScript variable. This block should be added before your external JavaScript file. Once you do this, you can reference that variable in your external JavaScript file.
<script type="text/javascript">
var grid = $("#<%= gridResults.ClientID %>");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/my.js"></script>
Problem
How can I use server-side script in an external js file to grab a reference to a dom element? The following works as intended when used as inline-script, but is returning null when I move this to an external js file. ``` $("#<%= gridResults.ClientID %>"); ```
