If we create a html and a javascript file seperately, the javascript file has to be specified in the html as external javascript file. Therefore <script src="index.js"></script> has to be added to the html in the above example.

A complete code example can be found below.

The content of index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Hello World with JS</title>
</head>

<body>
    <p>See the browser console for the console output.</p>
    <script src="index.js"></script>
</body>

</html>

And the index.js:

console.log("Hello World!")

As result we can see the "Hello World!" log message in the browser console, when the html page is loaded.

More details about using javascript with the html can be found here.
