[RESOLVED] Why can my index page not find my javascript page.?

Please help with this annoyance!
I create an index page using Notepad and save it with an .htm extension. I create a JavaScript page with Notepad and save it with extension .js to the SAME folder. I specify in the index page between the <style> </style> brackets the page name with the .js extension just as I am supposed to. Why can the index page NOT find it????? I have tried replacing the JavaScript's .js extension with .htm without avail. (Be advised if I paste the JavaScript within the <style> and </style> brackets the code operates correctly!

So your tag looks something like this?

<script src="scripts.js"></script>

Is it inside the body tag?

Or head tag would work too.
