 * Hi
 * Im trying to make a HTML table sortable, but i cant get it to work . I have tried
   to follow this guide “[http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/007.html&#8221](http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/007.html&#8221);
   but the problems is “step 1” where you will include a link to the javascript 
   library.
 * Can someone describe this step a bit further please?, I have copied this code“
   <script src=”sorttable.js”>” with the link to the javascript library here :”[http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/sorttable.js&#8221](http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/sorttable.js&#8221);
   within “sorttable.js”, and swift my page to the “HTML editor” and put it in the
   same page as my table (above the table code), but this is probably not correct,
   right?
 * After i have included the link to the javascrip library as above, the page just
   turns black when i press “preview” and i see some small bits of my table code,
   spread over the page.
 * In the guide they say that you should put the code in the HEAD, but what is excactly
   the “page head” then?
 * Sorry im very new to coding, but if someone could help me to describe “step 1”
   in this guide “[http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/007.html&#8221](http://www.js-vault.us/iscripts/007.html&#8221);
   in a newbie way so i can get it to work , i would be very thankfull.
 * Or you maybe have any other suggestion that could help solve my problem?
 * Kind regards
    Christopher
