Scratch

Hi! I was just wondering how to make a proper .js file. When I usually make one, it just shows the text that I wrote in the browser. How do I fix that?

On Windows:

1. Go to the Start Menu-->Accessories-->Command line/whatever it's called
2. Type cd Desktop (assuming the file is on your desktop)
3. Type ren myfile.js.txt myfile.js (assuming the file is called myfile.js)
4. Have Fun (or not)

It says that the file cannot be found.

What is the exact path of the file (like C:\\Documents and Settings\Users\ImagineIt\Desktop\file.js)?

I found out I was doing it wrong, but when I run it it just has the code there...

Alright. Now you need a way to run it. Is this part of HTML, a userscript, what?

Just a js script to test. I'm using notepad++ and when I press launch in chrome it won't work.

Umm.... What does this have to do with the topic?

Okay. Make an HTML file (using the same method as for the javascript file). Put it in the same directory of the javascript. Use this contents:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JAVASCRIPT_FILE_NAME.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
