Highcharts and JavaScript (Assignment 8)
This repo contains your assignment starter files, including the Highcharts code from the download page.
Highcharts code version: 10.2.1 (updated October 17, 2022, at 5:11 p.m.).
You will not need to use those files, however, because you can use a CDN instead. This is the method in your example file, test_check.html. What is a CDN? It is a content delivery network where files (such as the Highcharts library) can be linked to by you or anyone. A CDN usually means faster load times for all users of your website. Highcharts hosts its own CDN.
Instructions: How to complete the assignment
All instructions for the assignment are in this document.
If you forgot how to fork and clone a GitHub repo, how to create a gh-pages branch, or how to commit and push, see these instructions.
A file you will not use in the assignment
- scripts_local.html is identical to test_check.html except in one respect: scripts_local.html uses LOCAL files to load the Highcharts code. The other file (test_check.html) uses a CDN, meaning the Highcharts files it uses are online.
If you needed to work on your assignment without Internet access, you could use the local files as shown in scripts_local.html.
You can view any of the HTML files by simply opening them in your browser.
