858 PointsTrying to get this to work on Dreamweaver.
I have 2 files: index.html and script.js.
They're loaded on my program, but I don't know how to see the commands displayed without the code as normal text. This is whats on my script.js
console.log("Hello from myscript.js"); console.log("Hello again!");
My index.html has this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Introduction to Programming</title>
<style>
html {
background: #FAFAFA;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
</style>
<script type="text/index.html" src="myscript.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Introduction to Programming</h1>
<h2>with Javascript</h2>
</body>
</html>
How do I see the commands on the script.js on a separate screen as plain text? I know hes using chrome, but I'm used to my editor in Adobe. Plus I did try it on Chrome, and how he has a side bar for the html on there is beyond me because I don't know how he put that their. But if it is possible to try and fix the problem with Dreamweaver that would be great :)

I doubt this is possible in Dreamweaver since it's basically meant as a designer tool not a programming one (browsers are meant for that). I'd advice against Dreamweaver especially since you're just starting with the introduction series. It's just much more elegant and efficient to use a text editor like Sublime Text or TextEdit to do all the programming on.
