2,831 PointsWorkspace not running code?, resorting to testing in console instead
No matter what means I try to use workspaces, it doesn't work. I can launch the workspace, view all of its content and even modify and save stuff.... when I go to "refresh the browser"(hit the eye shaped button to preview it) it does not run the code. Only prints a blank page. What am I doing wrong? I've been having to test my stuff in the console which only works so far.

But each time you make any changes, you'll need to save your work (with the menu or Control-S shortcut) and then refresh your browser. The way this is done may vary with the browser, but many use the "F5" key as a shortcut. Doing both these steps will make your changes visible in the preview window.
