- Save the file as HTML using your text editor
- Open HTML file in your web browser
- Open the JavaScript console, in Chrome you do that by using the shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+J

James Barnett
39,199 PointsDepends on the text editor everyone is different.
I use Notepad++ on Windows and to view an HTML file you are editing using Notepad++ in Chrome the shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A.
