Prerequisites for Setting Up a Basic HTML and JavaScript Project
1. Create the index.html File
Open a text editor like Visual Studio Code (recommended), Notepad++, or even the default Notepad.
Save a new file as index.html. Make sure it is saved with the .html extension (not as a .txt file).
Add the following basic HTML structure to the file:
Copy code from here: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/lin...
2. Create the script.js File
In the same folder where you saved index.html, create another new file.
Save it as script.js.
3. Link the JavaScript File to the HTML File
The 'script' tag in the index.html file already links the script.js file.
Ensure that script.js is in the same folder as index.html.
4. Write Sample JavaScript Code
Open script.js and write a simple code to test:
console.log("Hello, World!");
5. Open the HTML File in a Browser
Right-click on the index.html file and select Open With your preferred browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
Alternatively, you can drag and drop the index.html file directly into the browser.
6. Open the Console Section to See Results
Google Chrome:
Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect.
Go to the Console tab in the developer tools panel.
Other browsers would be pretty similar to follow.
7. Verify the Setup
You should see the text Hello, World! displayed in the console.
If you see the message, everything is set up, and you are ready to code along with the video!
