$content.getURI ALWAYS references relative to the root of your web app and
it always has. What are you trying to reference ? Where is it on the
filesystem ?
The normal thing to do is to store your javascript files under something
like "myapp/javascript" and reference it with
$content.getURI("javascript/script.js"). The only directory that needs
special treatment is the "templates" directory. If you want to reference
something under "myapp/templates" you have to use $link.setPage(). Basically
the only thing that should be under "myapp/templates" is templates.
I have the feeling we're talking about completely different things here...
