In my project,there is a register.html file . the file is given below:

> ```
> <!DOCTYPE html> 
> {% load static %}
> <html>
> <head>
> <title>Page Title</title>
> </head> 
> <body> 
> <p>This is only for test.</p> 
> </body>
> 
> <script> src= "{% static 'js/register.js' %}" </script>
> 
> </html>
> 
> ```

Here you can see the javascript part in the last section. This script should be load the register.js file which is exists in app\_name/static/js/register.js . But the problem is that the register.js file is not loaded .  
The register.js file is given below:  
console.log(“this is working”);

when I run this , the console look as that picture which is given below:

Even If I give full path such as `<script> src= "/home/name/python/django/python test/app_name/static/js/register.js" </script>` then also the error is still remain .  
But if I give direct code like `<script> console.log("this is test"); </script>` then it perfectly worked.  
How can I solve this issue?

Try putting the script tag inside the `<head>` or `<body>` elements.

oh! sorry . I made a mistake . Actually src=… should be inside the tag, i.e. `<script src=...> </script>` . Now everything is fine.
