  • HINTS:

      this latter contains: Images, index.html, noteA.js, …, notesG.js, sketch.js
    • #2. you upload this entire folder to your UCSC website
    • #3. you point your browser to the file index.html on your website
      (instead of the file index.html on your personal laptop)
      it will be convenient to save this link as a browser Favorite
    • #4. you may now use the debugger of your browser as usual to debug your code)
      a safe way to work with these files is to edit local files only (one at a time) then
      Save, Upload, Refresh, and examine the Error Console of the browser
    • when you get around to Ocular-06, it is not necessary to upload the libraries again -- just upload Ocular-06 into your P5 Work folder
