First of all, I'm a novice in programming websites, so please bear with me for asking basic questions....
Im trying to incorporate a test highchart in a otherwise empty html page. I'm just following the steps of "Your first Highchart", but cannot get it to work
All I get is a blank container.... When looking at the error in the browser, it seems it doesn't recognize the $ function.... What am I doing wrong? Your help would be greatly appreciated!The code I use is below.
Many thanks in advance!!!
