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.
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.
- 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.
