Answer 2

I tend to use Rob Conery's Script Registration helper:

public static string RegisterJS(this System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper helper, string scriptLib) {
  //get the directory where the scripts are
  string scriptRoot = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/Scripts");
  string scriptFormat="<script src=\"{0}/{1}\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>\r\n";
  return string.Format(scriptFormat,scriptRoot,scriptLib);
}

Usage:

<%= Html.RegisterJS("myscriptFile.js") %>

As you can see in the example, this uses VirtualPathUtility to resolve the url of the Scripts directory. This should also help to bypass the problem of tag soup.
