If you do not want to add your JavaScript files declaratively via HTML to your ASP.Net page, you can do it in code, and here is how:

Just add this code to the Page_Init event handler on your page:

    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
 
HtmlGenericControl js = newHtmlGenericControl("script");
        js.Attributes["type"] = "text/javascript";
        js.Attributes["src"] = "jscript/formfunctions.js";
        Page.Header.Controls.Add(js);
 
    }

And thats all there is to it
