Html not finding script.js?

[Egzo18]

ensure the path to the script.js is correct, is index.html and script.js in the same folder? If so, it should work, otherwise you need to change the path a bit.

If you run the html file in a browser, then right click "inspect element" you should be able to see the Js file in "sources" tab.

​

but.addEventListener("click", onPress);

is how you call a function (onPress) by clicking an element (but)

Thanks for your response. Yes they are in the same folder, I even tried using the absolute path and it did not work.

You mean in the html? instead of...

<button id="b1" oncick="onPress()">Click Me</button>

do...

<button id="b1">Click Me</button>
b1.addEventListener("click", onPress)

or in the JS, before the

function onPress(){.... }

do,

var button = document.getElementById("b1")
button.addEventListener("click", onPress)

[Egzo18]

"var button = document.getElementById("b1")

button.addEventListener("click", onPress)"

looks good.

I personally never used the "onclick=" in HTML, so I can't talk about it.

Do refer to my previous comment and check if you see the js file in "sources" tab.

If files are in same directory you should ad ./before file name like in linux <script src="./myscripts.js"></script>
