Why is my JavaScript not working inside my HTML file?

I added a script tag inside my HTML file, but the JavaScript isn’t doing anything. Is there a specific place I should put the script tag or something I’m missing?

Place your script tag just before the closing body tag in HTML. This ensures the page loads before the script runs. If you put it in the head, it might run too early.

Make sure there are no typos in your JavaScript. Check the browser console for errors. Also confirm that your script tag is properly closed and points to the correct file if it’s external.
