Hey Paul, a couple things to check just so we can make sure that we don't have any of the common errors here. First, I noticed that the code you copied in is missing an opening <html> and an opening <head> tag. While this won't affect the error message you received, it is good for solidarity.

Second, let's double check to make sure that the file, myscript.js, is located right alongside the index.html in the file browser. I have sometimes put a JS file into a folder named "js" and then completely forgotten about it.

Third, let's see if "myscript.js" has a filename that matches what is given in the HTML document. Go to the actual source of the file in your file explorer and ensure the filename is exactly "myscript.js". It is a common mistake for all of us to mistype a filename and then wonder why we can't get anything done haha.

If this has helped you and solved the error, hitting that Best Answer button would be great! :) Thanks!

Hi

Your script is load but like you put it in the beginning of you DOM your page is not ready when the script is load so put your script juste before the </body>

or in your javascript file put like this $(document).ready(function(){ console.log("Hello from my script"); )};
