How do I make local js files work?

ON my local I am testing out stuff I've built.

This is the script I am trying to include in a file in the same folder: 

<script src="/colorpicker/js/evol.colorpicker.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

The colorpicker is on my desktop in a folder called Work/demo/

The colorpicker is not working. What an I do to make it work on my local?

Since The script file is in the same folder with your HTML page, so you just have to include it with its file name only:

<script src="evol.colorpicker.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

There are a number of things (but mostly XMLHttpRequest) that can be done using JavaScript that will be blocked from file:/// URIs for security reasons in some browsers. In general, for development purposes, I strongly recommend installing a web server (either directly on your workstation or in a virtual machine) and using that for testing.

That said, if you do want to test without a web server, then don't use root relative URIs. i.e. Do not start your URIs with a / character as that will hit the top of your file system, not the top directory that you consider to be part of your site.
