Jquery does not work in asp.net mvc after publishing to server

Question

I created an mvc application that contains some jquery code. When I run the application from my ide, everything works fine. When I publish on the server and open the page, jquery does not work. I get the expected errors of the object.

Could this be due to my file associations? here is an example of my mapping in the application -

<script type="text/javascript" href="../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>  

I have successfully published an application for iis7, but jquery is not working. I published the application on an existing website.

Any thoughts?

You may have problems with your relative path.

You can try this, this is the path from the root of the application:

<script type="text/javascript" href="/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>  

Or is this a C # solution:

<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script>
