Problems

Install an interactive development environment (IDE) of your choice.
1. Provide a one-sentence explanation of why you selected that IDE
Use our standard HTML5 template (see notes), and add 3 lines of JavaScript in the indicated area to add your name, the date (at the moment you loaded the page), and make one console log statement
1. Provide a screenshot of your browser displaying the page you've now built
2. Provide a screenshot of your browser with the developer console showing. It should be displaying the message you logged.

Notes

Here is a simple HTML5 template we will use throughout the course. Actually there is one difference: For this assignment, the JavaScript is provided on the HTML5 page. In all other assignments, it will be provided as an external file (src="...")

                <!doctype html>
                <!--
                    Assignment N
                    Your Name
                    File name
                -->
                <html>
                <head>
                <meta charset="utf-8">
                <title>Assignment N</title>
                <link rel="stylesheet" href="assignmentN.css"/>
                </head>
                
                <body>
                <!--
                    Any student provided body replaces this comment
                    If none, delete this comment
                  -->
                <script>
                </script>
                </body>
                </html>

Remember that we can use window.document.write('message') ; as a JavaScript statement to add content to our web page.
You will want the message to include any standard tags (elements).
You must use a pair of single or double quotes (not typographic quotes) to surround a string.
The current date and time can be obtained with the statement new Date()
This can even appear in a window.document.write call.
Remember that the console log can be accessed through window.console.log('message')
Because of JavaScript's rules about scope, actually, document, console, and prompt and prompt are all globally accessible.
If you find it more convenient to use document, console, and prompt directly in other problems, there will be no penalty.
This assignment's CSS stylesheet is optional. You may delete the link if unused.
Do submit your CSS if you choose to implement one.
