I'd like to use the SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl method in my published master page (used in a publishing site) in order to force SharePoint to stop caching my JavaScript and CSS files.

If I was working with a traditional .aspx page, this would suffice:

 <script type="text/jscript" src="<%=Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl("projectName/scripts/plugins/tapes_report_definition.js", false)%>" ></script>

But being a published Master Page, the tagging concept is a bit different. For example, this is what a JavaScript reference looks like:

<!--MS:<SharePoint:ScriptLink name="sharing.js" OnDemand="true" runat="server" Localizable="false">-->
<!--ME:</SharePoint:ScriptLink>-->

So I've been trying various ways to include that inline call to the cache method; here's what I've tried:

Simple script tag with inline code 

<script src="<%=Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl("IntrinsiQ.UserPortal.SharePoint/scripts/portal-main.js", false)%>"></script>

Result: '<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute character

Script tag surrounded in SharePoint MS/ME tags

<!--MS:<script src="<%= Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl("IntrinsiQ.UserPortal.SharePoint/scripts/portal-mainx.js", false) %>">-->
<!--ME:</script>-->

Result: Invalid SharePoint markup

Script tag surrounded in SharePoint MS/ME tags with Encoding

    <!--MS:<script src="&#60;%= Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl("IntrinsiQ.UserPortal.SharePoint/scripts/portal-mainx.js", false) %&#62;">-->
    <!--ME:</script>-->

Result: Invalid SharePoint markup

ScriptLink tag

<!--MS:<SharePoint:ScriptLink name="<%=Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl("IntrinsiQ.UserPortal.SharePoint/scripts/portal-main.js", false)%>" runat="server">-->
<!--ME:</SharePoint:ScriptLink>-->

Result: Invalid SharePoint markup

ScriptLink tag with encoding

<!--MS:<SharePoint:ScriptLink name="&#60;%=Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.MakeBrowserCacheSafeLayoutsUrl("IntrinsiQ.UserPortal.SharePoint/scripts/portal-main.js", false)%&#62;" runat="server">-->
<!--ME:</SharePoint:ScriptLink>-->

Result: Invalid SharePoint markup

Note: I tested the encodings with "<" = &#60; or &lt; and ">", and &#62; or &gt; for good measeure.

Matt,

You can create an user control to handle this in code. You can then add the control to the master page.

Take a look at these two examples and let me know if I can assist.

Inject dynamic javascript using MasterPage

Programmatically add JS/CSS to pages
