HTML

Unable to link .js files and .css files to a .html file

Hello fellow students,

I'm having trouble linking external files to my .html file.

check out this snapshot of my workspace: https://w.trhou.se/t0jhb78zot

I attempted to link my .css file in the header, and my .js file in the body.

Currently, all the external files are contained in a folder, but originally, they were all in the same folder. I had thought that moving them into a seperate folder might help. It didn't.

Additionally, I've tried writing the .css inside of <style></style> tags, which caused the code to run perfectly! When I ran the .js content inside of <script></script> tags, it ran perfectly.

Thank you very much!

P.S: This issue has occurred before, and then it disappeared abruptly. This time, no such luck! I hope it's something simple!

God Bless, Daley Cody Yakoweshen

Theres a typo on line 9:

You spelled stylesheet wrong

<link href="Externals/CStyleS.CSS" rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">

Also another typo on line 18:

Looks like you closed the opening <script> tag excluding the ( type='text/javascript' src='Externals/madScript.js' )

  <script> type='text/javascript' src='Externals/madScript.js'</script>

It should be:

  <script type='text/javascript' src='Externals/madScript.js'></script>

Fixed like a charm!

How silly of me!

Thank you so much, Kendell!
