Try putting it inside <head></head>?

@Cheeze:
Put the script in the <head> can just bring more difficulties ( DOM not loaded when JS script start ) ;)
@Glenn Bennett:
Don't you have anything else in the <body> or is this just an extract? You can try to put the <script></script> at the very bottom end of the <body>, to be sure that you don't need access to a DOM element, before it would be available...
Else:
- Is the 'demopage.js' file in the same directory as your html source code?
- Are you trying to link it inside a code playground web document? ( linked documents -- css, js, images, and so on -- must to be hosting anywhere on internet and cannot be accessed localy )

@visph Yes, I have a feeling that the .js is not in the same directory.

Not: need to be inside <body> ( or <head>, but don't work outside these two )

also, can you post the complete code? or a link to it? html and js, to see how they ( should ) interract?

Well, the mistake is in your js file: you need to remove all html tags ( including <script> and </script> ), to keep only script content ^^
