File won't save as JavaScript extension in Notepad++

Question

I am trying to use an external JavaScript file in my HTML as follows:

<script src='MyScript.js'></script>

The issue is, I am getting the following error in the Web console:

Loading failed for the <script> with source "file:///F:/GIS%20Assessment%202/MyScript.js".

I have realised that MyScript is not saved as having the JavaScript extension, in my documents it says it's a "File" rather than a JavaScript file. I have tried changing the language to JavaScript and saving as a JavaScript file as soon as I save it in my folder it just converts to a generic file!

What do I do? How do I fix this and save my scripts as JavaScript?

Answer 1

This isn't really a programming question, and is likely to be closed, but to force it to have the extension, simply enclose the filename (with the extension) in quotes.

"MyScript.js"

Answer 2

我知道这篇文章已经有一年多了，但我发现当我在保存文件时输入大写的文件扩展名时它起作用了：“myfile.JS”而不是“myfile.js”
