Do you know what happens to knights who dare oppose me? They’re soundly beaten, torn to shreds, reduced to mere ashes, utterly and completely obliterated. No one can defeat the great and mighty (and—dare I say—quite handsome) Knarr'ator. I’m the best, most awesomest dragon there ever is, was, and will be. And yet here you stand, just a character in my story, challenging me like the fool you are. If you think you stand a chance against me, you’ve got another think coming.

But by all means, go ahead and try.

It seems you’ve found yourself within
The troublesome affair
Of trekking through the timberland
To slay the dragon there.

They claim it a ferocious fiend;
However will you fare?

Glad I could help!

On the page(s) just before this error occurs, check your on-page scripting. Some symbols aren't supported in there (the rich text editor can introduce these sometimes) and they can cause this error.

Well look forward to it because he will.

He's getting a 503 from codepen for some reason. So it has to be something on codepen's end, right?

But it's kinda hard to search because you just get a lot of error page mockups instead.

I'm glad I could be of service!

Yep! All good over here.

Hopefully it wasn't just a "me" problem.

I still recommend you use switch the protocol, because likewise FF wasn't working for me (specifically "Blocked loading mixed active content" in the console), and changing your script's URL to https was what fixed that.

So some browsers are simply not loading the external JS? I'm guessing it's because some people are viewing the site on HTTP and some HTTPS, and some browsers are more aggressive about not loading insecure content on secure pages. Try replacing http with https when referencing the JS file.

Hey, if it works, it works!

...Which it does, for me, on Chrome, so I can't immediately see what might be going wrong.
