Script tag unsuccessful

This works broken apart in js fiddle but when using a script tag the clock no longer works (no longer calls js). I have tried text/javascript , adding the javascript version in a script above and my latest attempt was adding language.
How do i determine how a line of javascript is suppose to be used in a script tag? Is there any way to figure out what phrase is suppose to be used in order for this to work.
It was originally made on code pen and it shows the javascript version is 1.7 there but i cannot get this to work if i use a script tag for the life of me.

Variable is returning null in console

When I click on an anchor I pass the attribute ' data-target ' to my target var. In the scroll function I pass the target in the parameters and everything works well. My problem is that the console logs an error showing the target returning a null in this line:
var targetPosition = target.offsetTop;
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
var anchors = document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="#"]');
var headerHeight = document.querySelector('header').offsetHeight;
for (var i = 0; i < anchors.length; i++) {
anchors[i].addEventListener('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var anchor_location = this.getAttribute('data-target');
// Find the element with ID that matches data-target value.
var target = document.querySelector(anchor_location);
scroll(target, headerHeight);
})
}
function scroll(target, headerHeight) {
var start = null;
var duration = 1100; //d
var targetPosition = target.offsetTop;
var startPosition = window.pageYOffset; //b
var distance = targetPosition - startPosition - headerHeight; //c
console.log(distance);
window.requestAnimationFrame(step);
function step(timestamp) {
if (!start) start = timestamp;
var progress = timestamp - start; //t
// window.scrollTo(0, distance*(progress/duration) + startPosition);
window.scrollTo(0, quintic(progress, startPosition, distance, duration));
if (progress < duration) {
window.requestAnimationFrame(step);
}
}
}
// http://www.gizma.com/easing/ [easing equations]
function quintic (t, b, c, d) {
t /= d/2;
if (t < 1) return c/2*t*t*t*t*t + b;
t -= 2;

How to Change 2 Math.floor random numbers if they are equal

I'm trying to replicate the Monty Hall Problem, if you've heard of it, and I need to add in a system that will change one of two Math.floor random numbers when they are equal. My question is how do I change a variable that is random into another if it is equal to a second random variable. If you look into the Monty Hall Problem, the wrong variable would be an incorrect choice and door is correct, I set both to be random, but obviously, they cannot both be equal. This is what I have so far.

I tried adapting your code, but it looked too messy for me to understand everything you wanted to do. So, instead, I decided to create my own, just for fun. You can get some inspiration in there.
To answer your specific question, this is the way I choose the door:
var selectedDoor = 1,
correctDoor = 2,
losingDoor = getLosingDoor();
function getLosingDoor() {
var losingDoor;
do {
losingDoor = Math.floor((Math.random() * 3) + 1);
} while ([correctDoor, selectedDoor].indexOf(losingDoor) > -1);
return losingDoor;
}

JSFiddle demo

is it possible keydown event will affect setInterval?

I made a simple snake game by javascript, I try to add a feature that when the
var trail = [];
var tail = 5;
var normal_speed = 1000 / 10
var speed = 1000 / 10;
var game_status = 0;
var my_game;
button.addEventListener("click", function () {
clearInterval(my_game);
my_game = setInterval(game, speed);
});
window.onload = function () {
canv = document.getElementById("gc");
context = canv.getContext("2d");
document.addEventListener("keydown", keyPush);
document.addEventListener("keyup", keyRelease);
}
function game() {
for (var i = 0; i < trail.length; i++) {
context.fillRect(trail[i].x * grid_size, trail[i].y * grid_size, grid_size - 2, grid_size - 2);
if (trail[i].x == player_x && trail[i].y == player_y) {
if (game_status == 0) {
tail = 5;
} else {
endGame();
return;
}
}
}
trail.push({
x: player_x,
y: player_y
});
while (trail.length > tail) {
trail.shift();
}
}
function keyPush(keyEvent) {
switch (keyEvent.keyCode) {
case 16:
clearInterval(my_game);
speed = normal_speed * 0.5;
my_game = setInterval(game, speed);
break;
}
}
function keyRelease(keyEvent) {
switch (keyEvent.keyCode) {
case 16:
clearInterval(my_game);
speed = normal_speed;
my_game = setInterval(game, speed);
break;
}
}
user holds the shift key, the snake will speed up. But right now when I hold shift for a short time it works fine, but if I hold it for a long time the game will pause (snake stop moving). Here is my code, please help me fix it.

JQuery and JS NoConflict() Not Working

I have a website that uses smooth scroll which works great.. But once I added the following code:
var $ = jQuery.noConflict();
$(document).ready(function() {
$(function() {
var $ticker = $('#news-ticker'),
$first = $('.news-ticket-class li:first-child', $ticker);
// put an empty space between each letter so we can
// use break word
$('.news-ticket-class li', $ticker).each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
text = $this.text();
$this.html(text.split('').join('​'));
});
// begin the animation
function tick($el) {
$el.addClass('tick')
.one('webkitAnimationEnd oanimationend msAnimationEnd animationend', function() {
$el.removeClass('tick');
var $next = $el.next('li');
$next = $next.length > 0 ? $next : $first;
tick($next);
});
}
tick($first);
});
});
It breaks the smooth scroll. I have tried using the noconflict and that doesn't help as you can see.
The template I use is here that has the smooth scrolling option.
I am stuck with either the above code or my menus working. If you have any other suggestions that mimic someone typing, like this website, please send over my way.

I believe the purpose of noConflict is to relinquish control of the $ global variable for external libraries, so doing var $ = jQuery.noConflict(); just sets the global $ to what noConflict returns, which is the jQuery object. In other words, it doesn't buy you anything - it's simply setting $ to what $ would be, even without the noConflict() method.

Change the $ to $j like the following:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(function() {
$j(function() {
var $ticker = $j('#news-ticker'),
$first = $j('.news-ticket-class li:first-child', $ticker);
// put an empty space between each letter so we can
// use break word
$j('.news-ticket-class li', $ticker).each(function() {
var $this = $j(this),
text = $this.text();
$this.html(text.split('').join('​'));
});
// begin the animation
function tick($el) {
$el.addClass('tick')
.one('webkitAnimationEnd oanimationend msAnimationEnd animationend', function() {
$el.removeClass('tick');
var $next = $el.next('li');
$next = $next.length > 0 ? $next : $first;
tick($next);
});
}
tick($first);
});
});
