Import functions from another js file. Javascript

If you're serving files over file://, it likely won't work. Some IDEs have a way to run a quick sever.

You can also write a quick express server to serve your files (install Node if you don't have it):

//package.json
{
  "scripts": { "start": "node server" },
  "dependencies": { "express": "latest" }
}

// server/index.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use('/', express.static('PATH_TO_YOUR_FILES_HERE');
app.listen(8000);

With those two files, run npm install, then npm start and you'll have a server running over http://localhost:8000 which should point to your files.
