Does Asp.Net MVC 4 package not provide <script> section attributes?

Question

My question is:

How can I create a <script> section with attributes using Asp.Net Mvc package optimization?

I need to be able to get something like this in my html result:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="myjavascript.js" charset="UTF-8"></script> 

The reason is because my "myjavascript.js" contains unicode characters, and in the browser I have square characters instead of the source text.

Can I do this with Asp.Net package optimization classes?

"Quick Google Search" says I can’t.

Thank you for your responses!

Answer 1

I am afraid that you cannot do this. But you can save the javascript file as UTF-8 using the specification, and your site also uses UTF-8:

 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 

Now the unicode characters stored in your javascript file will display correctly.

You can also use the RenderFormat method to configure how the Scripts helper displays tags:
