Troubles with Isotope

I’m trying to implement Isotope into a project I’m building, specifically filtering.

To test it, I copied the exact same code from the CodePen (https://codepen.io/desandro/pen/nFrte). For some reason, when I run the same code from Visual Studio Code, it does not animate.

Here is my test code:

index.html

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/isotope-layout@3/dist/isotope.pkgd.js"></script>
<script src="javascript.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style1.css">

Note that the JS links are the same ones used on the Isotope CodePen. Does anyone know why mine isn’t animating? Thanks for your help! :slight_smile:

Hi there bmcode,

your problem is not the code, it is the editor. :rolleyes:

Always use browsers to test code not text editors.

I was running it in my browser, though. I opened index.html in my browser. :thinking:

What exactly was the problem?

There were no problems, when I tested
your code in Firefox and Vivaldi. :winky:

The content of the attachment, though,
was just a general tidying up of your
posted code. :biggrin:

Hi @bmcode, BTW there’s also an export function (small button at the bottom on the right) which generates a zip file with the exact setup from the pen; this way you can be sure you got the right scripts at the right places etc.

For some reason when I open mine in Google Chrome it doesn’t work, but when I open yours it does work.

I’ll try to figure out why.

I figured out the problem!

The script links had to go in this order:

  1. jQuery
  2. Isotope
  3. JavaScript link
