49 PointsNo matter what I change under "script.js" I still get the blue javascript screen. Even if I type complete jibberish.
I'm not sure what I"m doing wrong, every time I click preview from the workspace I get the same blue "hello javascript" message. Even if i type random letters. I noticed this when none of my errors were registering. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

To see the errors as shown in the video, you have to link the JS file to the HTML file using the <script> tag.
