JavaScript code gives blank page in Safari
Question
I recently dipped my toe into JavaScript and very quickly ran into some problems. I am trying to run a simple "Hello World" program that is not working. Whenever I open the html file in Safari, I get only a blank page. JavaScript IS enabled in Safari preferences. The file is saved with the .html extension. Here is the code I have written in Sublime Text 2:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title> JS Test Page </title>
</head>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
document.write(“hello world”);
</script>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If it helps, the path file in the URL is: file:///Users/ME/Desktop/testJS.html

You need to put your script tag inside the head or body tag.
There was also a problem with the double quotes. They were unicode characters. Possibly you copied them from a website using a weird font or something instead of typing them and that was messing things up.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title> JS Test Page </title>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("hello world");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

You need to put your script in head tag.
Both document.write method should output text into an unready (open) document.
Read http://javascript.info/tutorial/document-write for further info.

Did you copy and paste this code?
<script type=“text/javascript”>
document.write(“hello world”);
</script>
You error is only because your double quotes, try this code below:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("hello world");
</script>
and put your script tag inside the body or head tag.
