Just getting back into coding after a very long break (approx 10 years) so apologies for any incorrect terminology / if this is a basic question.
-Max OS X -Text Edit -Google Chrome
Working on a course on Lynda on programming fundamentals. When I type the HTML source code like for like, my version doesn't trigger the .js file, whereas if I c+p the source code from the tutorial file, it does.
Using Textedit as my editor. Very confusing as it is very simple code, and I have copied it identically, but it doesn't react the same way when I type it myself. The rest of the HMTL loads fine but the .js script just doesn't load.
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a very simple HTML page</p>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
I've uploaded the files to mediafire. Container.html is from the tutorial. Container1.html is the HTML file I have typed out myself. Have been scratching my head over this for a while and can't figure out what the difference is between the 2 files except the size (4 bytes).

Thanks!

It's because of double quotes in your Container2.html. So its seems the code changes its format from UTF to a different one. So what you need to is, open your container2.html file, and go to this line
<script src=“script.js”></script>
Change it to below by deleting double quotes and typing again:
<script src="script.js"></script>
Notice the change in double quote ;)
