Is there a way to use \"<%= someObject.ClientID %>\" in an external javascript file?

If I use the code

<%= someObject.ClientID %>

I like to embed a single line of javascript on my page.

It's poor practice to have a ton of javascript rendered on your page, but it is common to need to pass initialization values to your javascript from the server. This allows you to do it without a whole bunch of unnecessary code and without polluting the global namespace with callback functions. I usually replace Application with some project specific global wrapper.
