You must pay close attention to the path of your JavaScript script. If it is stored (as in the lesson) in a folder called "js," you need to go up one level in the hierarchy.
Alternatively, if it is stored at the same level as your HTML index file, use the example below.
<script src="preview.js"></script>

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 528 Pointsthis worked for me, take out JS/, so it should be "<script src="script.js"></script>". Im happy im starting with a free trial I just started these courses and I don't get why there is so many issues in the teachings and fellow students are the ones finding the answers to these problems. This comment from 2 years ago helped me, yet there isnt an edit in the video for a known issue?
