I'm working on a local environment and I'm not sure if I've written my src URl correctly because my functions aren't working. The bold script tag has the src in question.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://www.parsecdn.com/js/parse-1.2.2.min.js"></script>
**<script src="/Users/myUserName/Desktop/myPage.js"></script>**
</head>
<body>
<div id="mainDiv">
<p><a href="#">anchor</a></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

To include an external JavaScript file, we can use the script tag with the attribute src . You've already used the src attribute when using images. The value for the src attribute should be the path to your JavaScript file. This script tag should be included between the <head> tags in your HTML document.
Definition and UsageThe src attribute specifies the URL of an external script file. If you want to run the same JavaScript on several pages in a web site, you should create an external JavaScript file, instead of writing the same script over and over again.
The <script> tag can be placed in the <head> section of your HTML or in the <body> section, depending on when you want the JavaScript to load. Generally, JavaScript code can go inside of the document <head> section in order to keep them contained and out of the main content of your HTML document.
You can place any number of scripts in an HTML document. Scripts can be placed in the <body> , or in the <head> section of an HTML page, or in both.
Write the src tag for calling the js file as
<script type='text/javascript' src='../Users/myUserName/Desktop/myPage.js'></script>
This should work.

I believe the browser is looking for those assets FROM the root of the webserver. This is difficult because it is easy to start developing on your machine WITHOUT actually using a webserver ( just by loading local files through your browser)
You could start by packaging your html and css/js together?
a directory structure something like:
-yourapp
- index.html
- assets
- css
- js
- myPage.js
Then your script tag (from index.html) could look like
<script src="assets/js/myPage.js"></script>
An added benifit of packaging your html and assets in one directory is that you can copy the directory and give it to someone else or put it on another machine and it will work great.
