[resolved] Why won't my js code work on anything exept codecademy??(Windows 7)

This is my code:

 var red = [0, 100, 44
];
var orange = [0, 100];
var green = [0, 101];
var blue = [0, 102];
var purple = [0, 103];

var myName = "Lincoln";
letterColors = [blue, red, green];



drawName(myName, letterColors);
bounceBubbles(myName);
if(10 > 3)

    bubbleShape = "square";

I cant seem to be able to get my code to work on anything exept Codecademy. I was trying to use Notepad to paste the code onto and to save it as a js file, and I was trying to use Microsoft Windows Script Based Host to run the code. But continually got tons of syntax, Object Unidentified errors and so on. My code works with Codecademy But not with anything else.

You need all the files saved onto your computer in order to run the examples ‘offline’.

Files needed:

  • index.html
  • style.css
  • app.js (the one you make)
  • jquery.min.js (the jQuery library)

How do you get them to be linked together instead of four individual files that have nothing to do with each other.

Also it might be worth you trying Notepadd++, it’s free. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Save them all in the same folder and then edit the .html file so the 3 files (.css and both .js) are linked in-between the < head > and < /head > tags. Because they aren’t in separate folders you can just link the file names i.e. < DOCTYPE HTML > < head > < link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”**style.css**” > < script type=”text/javascript” src=”**jquery.min.js**”>< /script > < script type=”text/javascript” src=”**app.js**” >< /script > < /head >

You create index.html, style.css and app.js but will need to download jQuery (jquery.min.js) if you haven’t already done so. Remember to make sure to change the name of the file you link to this.
