Hello!

Could you please show us the file tree and the file where you reference "scripts.js"? Thanks! That will help a lot.

Because of the way you reference the file in your script tag, you do not want it in a new folder. It should be in the same place as the HTML file.

To facilitate a complete analysis you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
