The downloaded files do not work when previewed

Hello, I have followed the lesson along but couldn't manage to get to show the menu. The <select> element doesn't get added to the html. I then downloaded the files to check on my mistakes but also those file don't create the menu when previewed on chrome.

Any idea where the problem lies?

Make sure you included your javascript file into ur html and also make sure to include the jQuery library using the CDN

Thanks Lakindu,

the following 2 lines of code are already included in the html file, I believe that should do..

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
