Fiddle script not working on website


If I copy the code from here: https://jsfiddle.net/agt10exp/
It's working fine on fiddle, however when I make a new file on my pc and just paste the code in it, I get the same layout, however it's not functioning properly (added the <html></html> and <script src....></script> to my code:
(P.s I'm a Python programmer so maybe the problem is my HTML/Js knowledge)

<html>
I am a </span><select name="parent_selection" id="parent_selection">
            <option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
            <option value="patient">Patient</option>
            <option value="doctor">Doctor or physician</option>
            <option value="school">School or parent</option>
            <option value="worker">Case worker</option>
        </select>
        <br /><span>and I need information on</span>
        <select name="child_selection" id="child_selection" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
        </select>
</html>

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

var jq81 = jQuery.noConflict();

//function to populate child select box
function list(array_list)
{
    jq81("#child_selection").html(""); //reset child options
    jq81(array_list).each(function (i) { //populate child options
        jq81("#child_selection").append("<option value=\""+array_list[i].value+"\">"+array_list[i].display+"</option>");
    });
}

});

</script>

I saw more people who had the same problem:

however, I tried the solutions but I couldn't figure it out, I hope someone can help me out


Solution

  • You declare custom script plus add jquery, but they must be separate:

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    

    + note jquery src url

    EDIT: this code works fine in my chrome

    <html>
    I am a </span><select name="parent_selection" id="parent_selection">
            <option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
            <option value="patient">Patient</option>
            <option value="doctor">Doctor or physician</option>
            <option value="school">School or parent</option>
            <option value="worker">Case worker</option>
        </select>
        <br /><span>and I need information on</span>
        <select name="child_selection" id="child_selection" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
        </select>
    </html>
    
    
    
    
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    
    var jq81 = jQuery.noConflict();
    jq81(document).ready(function($){

    var doctor = [

    //function to populate child select box
    function list(array_list)

        });
    }
