src is an attribute of the <script> tag.

You're creating a Javascript variable and assigning it to invalid syntax.

Your script tag isn't correctly formed. Try:

<script  type="text/javascript" src='<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/JScript1.js")%>' ></script>

Is your JScript1.js file definitely at the following directory: *root*/Scripts/JScript1.js? All the spelling correct? I get tripped up all the time by one rogue character...

Youcan try this:-

<script  type="text/javascript" src = <%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/JScript1.js")%>>    </script>

instead of

<script  type="text/javascript">   src = <%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/JScript1.js")%> </script>

src should be included in the script tag.

The code should look like this:

<script  type="text/javascript" src='<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/JScript1.js")%>'> </script>

There are a few ways you can do this... I personally would give the button control a class (CssClass property) and target that with JavaScript.

Using jQuery, I would do:

(function () {
    function invokeMeMaster() {
        alert('I was invoked from page');
    }

    $('.btnMaster').click(function() {
        invokeMeMaster();
    });
});

I honestly wouldn't even use the the asp:button control. It expects to have a post back... I mean, there isn't anything wrong with using it per-se, but my approach would be different.
