Your browser might be cached (using old content instead of new). Try clearing your browser cache, and then close the browser tab and open a new one and see if that works. When doing web development, I often log different things to the console so I know the browser has my new content. I also will shift+left click the refresh icon in the browser and/or press shift+ctrl+R to "hard refresh" the page. Lastly, make sure you are using console.log in a spot that you know for sure will be executed when the page loads, and then perhaps another one inside a function you want to investigate.

Hope this helps.
