Can't get JS to run

Question

I found a slider menu on CodePen I liked but no matter what I do I can't get the JS to run. I actually tried multiple sources of code and none worked properly.

<html>
<head>
    <title>AOS Slide</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slide-test.css">
    <script src="slideTest.js"></script>
</head>

<div id="button" class="button">
    <div></div>
    <div></div>
    <div></div>
  </div>
  <div id="menu" class="none">
    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li class="menu-item">
          <a href="" class="link">Home</a>
        </li>
        <li class="menu-item">
           <a href="file:///Users/scatman01/Desktop/Code/AOS3.0/AOS-hike.html">Hike</a>
        </li>
        <li class="menu-item">
          <a href="file:///Users/scatman01/Desktop/Code/AOS3.0/AOS-bike.html">Bike</a>
        </li>
        <li class="menu-item">
          <a href="file:///Users/scatman01/Desktop/Code/AOS3.0/AOS-fishing.html">Fishing</a>
        </li>
        <li class="menu-item">
          <a href="file:///Users/scatman01/Desktop/Code/AOS3.0/AOS-run.html">Run</a>
          <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
        </li><li class="menu-item">
          <a href="file:///Users/scatman01/Desktop/Code/AOS3.0/AOS-TripleCrown.html">Triple Crown</a>
          <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
        </li><li class="menu-item">
          <a href="file:///Users/scatman01/Desktop/Code/AOS3.0/AOS-Gallery.html">Gallery</a>
        </li><li class="menu-item">
          <a href="" class="link">Contact</a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </div>
  <div id="shadow" class="none"></div>
</body>

JS:

document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
    showMenu();
});

document.getElementById('menu').addEventListener('click', function() {
    showMenu();
});

function showMenu() {
    console.log('click');
    var menu = document.getElementById('menu');
    var shadow = document.getElementById('shadow');
    var button = document.getElementById('button');

    menu.className = 'menu-in';
    shadow.className = 'shadow-in';
    button.className = 'none';
}

document.getElementById('shadow').addEventListener('click', function() {
    var menu = document.getElementById('menu');
    var shadow = document.getElementById('shadow');
    var button = document.getElementById('button');

    menu.className = 'menu-out';
    shadow.className = 'shadow-out';
    button.className = 'button';
});

Java question tag deleted and javascript tag added. Understand that the two languages are vastly different. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Feb 06 '16 at 23:48

I'm quite new to Javascript myself, though I must say I ran into a similar issue like yours before. I couldn't get my external Javascript file to work. I figured out I needed a separate jQuery library hosted by Google in my .html file in order to make it work.

I am not sure which one you need (or if you need any), but can't do no harm looking up the hosted libraries by Google and paste the link between <script></script> tags just above the closing tag of your body.

A small example of my coding (might get you an idea):

<!doctype html>
<html>

<head>
  <title></title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
</head>

<body>
  <div class="content">
    <div class="parallax-bg">
      <h1>Hello Everybody</h1>
    </div>
  </div>

  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/scrolling.js"></script>
</body>

</html>
