Object-Oriented JavaScript part 1

I'm working on Randy's Object-Oriented JavaScript Part 1: I'm wondering why my JavaScript code is not working? The HTML file loads correctly in the browser however, none of my JS files seem to be attached.. Below is my html file. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/robot.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/maze.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/mazespace.js"></script>

            <script>
                m = new Maze(7,5);
                m.setStart(1,1,"north");
                m.setEnd(7,1);
                m.setWall(1,1, "east");

                </script>



    </head>
    <body>

        <div id="page">
            Loading ...
        </div>


    </body>
    </html>

It could be that the path to your js files are incorrect.

'js/robot.js' would mean that the js file is in a folder called 'js' in the same folder as the index.html file.

Also I would recommend placing your script tags just before the closing body tag </body>.

THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I see now video 22:00 minute where this problem is corrected. I'm so sorry

In MazeSpace.js video 19:45-

line 11: this.["north"] = true; (the dot notation and the bracket notation are not correct)

correct line is:

line 11: this["north"] = true; (without dot)

see the dot notation and the bracket notation fore more information
