Okay, I was having the same thing happen and when I looked in the console it said that the .js file did not exist. How I fixed it was deleting my js folder and it's contents and created a new one. After that it worked perfectly, nothing is wrong with the code.

Your code works just fine. Maybe you've forgot to reference the js file from index.html? You have to include, it's not enough to have it in the project folder.
