Recommended Javascript Usage In a Master Page
So through:
Site Settings > Master Page > Alternate CSS URL
one can set the CSS that a particular master page will use. I'm wondering if there is a similar mechanism for Javascript or do I simply use the standard:
<script type="text/javascript"src="Includes/default.js"></script>
There isn't any alternative like for css files.
But instead of using the standard script tag for including a javascript file, try to use the same server control used in the default master page for including the core.js file.
I don't believe this will work unless you enable code blocks in master pages. This isn't particularly necessary in this case. Just use the ScriptLink control in your master page, or use direct html markup with the reference like you would with any other HTML page.
