I'm following along with the jQuery Basics Mobile project but when I open the html in both Chrome and Internet Explorer the app.js file does not seem to execute, only the html.
What could I be doing incorrectly.

- Make sure that the javascript file you are trying to reference is in the root of your project or the path you are trying to reference to.
- Double check your spelling (lots of times the reason a javascript or css file does not do anything is because there is some type of spelling error)
- It could all just simply be your syntax is wrong all together
(What it should look like Example:
html <script type="text/javascript" src="../app.js"></script>) NOTE: Good practice is to put your Javascript references and code at the end of your HTML document just before the closing body tag
