So this is so simple and it was working before. I’m trying to load a JS file into my html. I think I have the file extension correct, but it’s not loading the JS on my page. This is for a JS video I’m following on YouTube.
the file:// only works for local file systems, i.e. on your own computer.
If this is hosted on the Internet (codepen, your own website, etc), either use relative paths src="/directory/file.js"
or the complete url src=“http://www.googlecdn.com/folder/file.js”
Thanks. This isn’t hosted on any other website. Just my local computer.
I tried it with 2 and 1 slashes and it still didn’t work.
This file is in the same folder as the HTML file. This is on a Mac.
The file path is /Users/darrinmaier/Desktop/javascriptBasics/index.html
and
/Users/darrinmaier/Desktop/javascriptBasics/js.js
Hey Thanks for the response. It did not work.
If it helps, I’m using Atom as an editor. In my version of Atom, if I type in a link or file path it turns blue. It won’t turn blue unless I start local paths with “file:///”.
Even correcting the underscore and the uppercase J didn’t work.
I got it. It wasn’t saving the index properly. Thanks so much all!
