How to run a Javascript program from sublime text edit 2 to a web browser?

I am new to programming and am having trouble trying to open my Javascipt program to a web browser for testing. How is this done through Sublime Text Edit? I don't see any option for running to a browser. I can go to build then run but it all complies at the bottom of the screen. So how is it run directly to chrome?

Thank you

Browsers load HTML pages. In HTML page you have an option to load and execute JavaScript code via <script> tag.

  1. Create a HTML page

  2. Put it to the same folder with your .JS file

  3. In HTML have a <script> tag that loads your code:

    <html>
<head>
<script src="myjsfile.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

  4. Open this HTML file in Chrome (drag and drop, double click, etc.)

(Note: Nowadays there are also command line JavaScript programs which are run with NodeJS, but they are not usually for programming novices).
