Thank you Yandeu,

I installed it and when it opens it shows the folder where the file is located but not what's in the file, like the screenshot attached.

Is there no .html file?
Just click on dia1.js to open it.


But what you probably want to do is adding an index.html file.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <h1>My First JavaScript</h1>
  </body>
  <script src="./dia1.js"></script>
</html>

Hi Yandeu,

Thank you so much for your help!!!!!

I opened it in a HTML file and now is working properly.

I appreciate your help!!!!

Kind Regards,
