Head section link tag rendering issue

Question

I was using that (with head runat)

<link href="https://<%= AppSettingBase.AppSetting("CdnDomain")%>/cdn/css/iebutton.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

it was rendering correctly

<link href="https://cdn.mydomain.com/cdn/Content/css/iebutton.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

now I am using (with head runat)

<link href="https://<%= UIAppSetting.CdnDomain%>/cdn/css/iebutton.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

it rendering wrong , but without head runat working fine

<link href="https://&lt;%= UIAppSetting.CdnDomain%>/cdn/css/iebutton.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

What is difference between two, how can I solve it?

Edit

UIAppSetting is class and CdnDomain is static property and I added namespace in web.config

is this static class? or you create an instance of this class on this code page? — Gaurav Agrawal, Apr 20 '12 at 07:48
@GovindKamalaPrakashMalviya: I made a new web project for testing this, but I don't have your issue. It works fine for me. Are you working on a web project or a web site? What asp.net version are you using? Can you post you web.config, so we can figure ou if there's something strange there? — themarcuz, Apr 20 '12 at 08:01
guys sorry for late reply, @Gaurav : no need to create instance because CdnDomain is static member. — Govind Malviya, Apr 20 '12 at 08:51

This answer and this answer (which actually link the first one) states that you can't use <%= %> syntax inside a runat="server" tag, which your head tag actually is. I also find some other pages on internet who state the same.

Given this, I don't understand why it works your first version

<link href="https://<%= AppSettingBase.AppSetting("CdnDomain")%>/cdn/css/iebutton.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Finally I solved my issue but it is not good way I think. specially thanks to themarcuz, he tried well for me.

<link <% Response.Write("href='https://" + UIAppSetting.CdnDomain +"/cdn/css/iebutton.css'");%> rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I've had something like this before,

does it work correctly if you substitute the

<link href=" blah blah " />

for

<link href=' blah blah ' />

single quotes instead of double quotes, i'm sure I had an issue once where it didn't like the fact that I had a double quote inside a double quote. no matter it's context (although it may have been in an Eval context)
