I have have to take my <script> tags out of the <div> in order fro my program to run. Why?

Here is a snapshot of my code:

Please look at the HTML. This program runs. However, when I place the <script> inside of the <div> it stops running and doesn't get past the first console log. I am using the latest version of Chrome.

You should not place your script inside the div in the first place, it should go just before the body closing tag, your js file should explain where and when it is running; not your html.

hope that helps.

It was just that in the video, his Java statements were populating within the <div> I guess it just confused me. Thanks!
