Node server, Socket.io 'io is not defined'?

Question

I\'ve followed the exact same steps which have always previously worked for me, create application through express, place the module dependencies in the node_modules folder.

Answer 1

I managed to blunder through this, and squandered about an hour, on something that turned out to be a very basic error.

When an function is not defined? Such as " Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined ". Does that not mean that the function is getting "used" before it is "created"?

In the part of my HTML file, that "calls" the javaScript files, it look like this :

and i changed it to this

So now the item "io", whether it is an object or function... Is actually getting created before it is getting used :D

Have FUN!
