Separate JS files not working.

When the code for the report is in the students.js file, it works perfectly.

However, when I move it to a separate file, it doesn't work. No code is changed other than the script link in the index.html file: <script src="js/student_report.js"></script>

I'm seeing no reason as to why this isn't working, please help?

It is working for me on both IE and Chrome. Try to replicate what you have in Teamtreehouse onto Notepad and run it locally.

Also, since your JS files are linked, I don't believe you need to repeat the creation of the student variable in student_report.js.

Cheers

I'm using Chrome, and the supplied code.

Tested it locally and it works: must be an issue with the browser/Treehouse.

Thanks anyway.
