JS file is loaded in HTML (generated via Markdown) but not executing

The HTML file is generated using Markdown. I have included a JavaScript file in HTML. It is visible that it is loaded in the browser (tried on Mozilla firefox).

See the proof below.

I tested if JS is enabled or not from https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-javascript-enabled

enter image description here

But somehow, it is not being executed.

Below is my generated HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-16"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"/>
<meta name="generator" content="Bootply-JBake-Custom"/>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16"/>

<script type="text /javascript" src="projects.js"></script>

Remove the space in type="text /javascript with the result:

<script type="text/javascript" src="projects.js"></script>

This should allow the browser to parse the HTML correctly and load the script.

EDIT: Or remove the type attribute from the <script> tag entirely, as suggested by the comment below.
