This may be a caching issue with your browser. See if a force refresh works by pressing Shift+F5.

Just press f5 and relaunch preview

Lindsay & Juan correctly diagnosed the problem, but the Shift/F5 trick didn't work for me on my version of Chrome running on a Mac (It may be due to a Chrome quirk). Here's what I had to do:

  1. Save the corrected scripts.js file
  2. Click Preview. This will display the "broken" version of the file
  3. Hold down Shift and click the Refresh arrow in the browser's toolbar (next to the Back/Forward arrows)

I believe the Shift-Refresh arrow trick works on Windows as well, but if one of the suggestions doesn't work, try the others.
