title: Compiling/ running Javascript in Notepad++ [beginner question]
body: <p>I am a beginner programmer.  I have a limited knowledge of javascript, but I have only worked in an IDE.  I am currently following Lifehacker's programming series which teaches javascript.
  I have downloaded Notepad++ and have completed a program, but I am not sure of the steps to run it.  In the video, the user is able to just send the program to a browser and the code runs from there.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the video for reference:

  <p>Thanks!
  (note: i am a beginner to both programming and this site so any constructive criticism is welcome)</p>
