what is going on here? You'll notice the error of java not "being found" in the third screenshot

This class is a little unclear compared with the newer class "designing a web page"

I would recommend using Workspaces instead of Sublime. It's an extremely powerful, free (with your monthly subscription to Treehouse) and simple tool we've created for you.

Anyway, on to your question ...

It looks like it can't find the file coding/myscript.js. This is probably because it's not in that directory. Double check that first.
