How do you upload the project files (especially the Javascript files) to Chrome like you are doing in the videos?

Hi Bill,

You can just download the project files for each lesson (usually index.html & myscript.js) and drag them to your browser icon to open them in the browser easily.

You can also go over to a site like CodePen and use that to re-create the contents of the files there for immediate results.

As a third option, in Google Chrome if you go to View => Developer => Developer Tools (cmd + option + i on Mac) and click on the Console tab you can enter in javascript into that window and it will run.

Normally and most of the time you just need to include your javascript file in your html just before the closing </body> tag.

<script src="relative_path_where_your_javascript_file_is_located"></script>

Then you just have to open your html file in the browser.
