What is the correct way to reference a javascript file in an Asp.Net MasterPage and make it available to all pages in the all project folders?

I've this:

HTML

<script type="text/javascript" src='<%=ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery.maskedinput-1.3.1.js")%>'></script>

When navigate to a page that call some script function, a runtime error message says:

HTML

0x800A01B6 - JavaScript Runtime Error : The Object : does not support property or method "mask".

There is any way to reference javascript files in relative path from masterpage and let me use it functions with all project's pages?

I'm using webforms, nor razor or MVC.

Thank you!

The script tag is inside head tag.

Good place...
Can it be that URL does not resolve correctly because of the placement of the master page inside the project (other folder than the page)?
The best you can do is using the debugger of the browser to check what the actual URL is and see why id doesn't load...

I have tried this kind of referencing in a single page and it seems to be working fine for me. I tried it for jQuery library file 'jquery-2.0.3.js'.

Might be the path is not correct for you, please check once.

In a single Asp.Net webform it works fine to me. The problem occurs when I do the same with an Asp.Net master page and call some "js" function from some "inherited" webform.

I've made a change replacing ResolveUrl by Page.ResolveClientUrl on master page and it seems to be working fine now. But I really have no idea about why...
