19,949 PointsFor reference this is the challenge:
There are two files:
index.html
andapp.js
. To run the programming inapp.js
, you first need to load it intoindex.html
. Add the required HTML to load the external JavaScript file into the web page. Make sure to add your code inside the<body>
element.
RIght now both of your index.html and app.js files exist but there is no connection between the two. As they say in the challenge: in order for your app.js file to run it needs to be included into the index.html file, and specifically within the <body>
element.
To add a js file we need to use the <script></script>
tag with a src attribute. Since app.js is in the same folder as index.html it would look like this: <script src="app.js"></script>
.
And the whole thing will look like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- LOOK HERE! -->
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
