Whats wrong with my code

This is the second course i have done that isn't working in the browser preview, is there something wrong with my code or is there a reason this happens with brackets/sublimetext (i have tried both) ? This is the code and there should be a rectangle on the canvas but its blank

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

imgFrog = new Image();
imgFrog.src = "mikethefrog.png";
imgFrog.addEventListener("load", init, false);

var requestAminFrame =
    window.requestAnimationFrame ||
    window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
    window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
    window.oRequestAnimationFrame ||
    window.msRequestAnimationFrame ||
    function (callback) {
        window.setTimeout(callback, 1000/60);
    };

function init() {
    requestAminFrame(update);

}

function update() {
    context.fillRect( 10, 10, 40, 380, "#111111");
    context.fillRect( 10, 10, 380, 40, "#000000");
    context.fillRect( 10, 350, 380, 40, "#000000");
    context.fillRect( 350, 10, 40, 380, "#000000");
    context.fillRect( 180, 10, 40, 180, "#000000");

    requestAminFrame(update);

}

I have tried setting the fill color seperate to.

EDIT- Fixed markdown so that the code is more readable.

Hi thanks didn't know I could do that, I got the problem sorted, it was the path for the img that was stopping it all loading.
