You need to remove test from the path.

Try this.

<script src="../myScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Make sure script file is also added to visual studio project.

HINT : You can also drag script file to the HTML editor in visual studio. It would have created script tag with path for you. Not sure which visual studio you are using but almost all VS support this.

• Jenish Rabadiya: So Draging that on editor does not work or script tag does not worked?
• shyam_: dragging on editor just opens the file in new window
• Jenish Rabadiya: I think you are doing something wrong. Open html file. Select js file from solution explorer and drag it on html file that you recently opened. I have performed with vs 2013 and it worked correctly for me.
• shyam_: yes..that did work..my script file was outside and i was just dragging it from outside..i included that in vs and then dragged, so it worked.
