@Url.Content isn't found in my javascript file

Question

I have the next line in my javascript file:

"<img alt=\"Active\" src=\"@Url.Content(\"~/Images/play.png\")\" />"

so I tried to do what AHM suggested in this topic ( @Url.Content in separate javascript file using ASPNET MVC 3 and Razor ):

var ROOT = "@Url.Content(\"~/";
"<img alt=\"Active\" src=\"" + ROOT + "Images/play.png\")\" />"

but I got an error:

Reports/@Url.Content( 404 (Not Found) 

what I did wrong?

any help appreciated!

Answer 1

@Url.Content is not supported in JavaScript file

In your code is wrong

var ROOT = "@Url.Content(\"~/"; <= parentheses is not closed & you donot need to escape quotes

Instead use in beginning of file

var ROOT = '@Url.Content("~/")';
