How do I call a javascript function from within razor markup in a cshtml view? Basically I want to do something like this (which doesnt work):

Javascript file being included on the page has a method like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function doesThisWork() {
return true;
}
</script>

View has code block similar to this:

<div>
@if(doesThisWork()) {
<span> this DOES work!!! </span>
}
else
{
<span> this does NOT work!!! </span>
}
</div>
