javascript – select onclick onchange not working

I\’ve been trying to figure this out for hours now and I can\’t understand why my javascript isn\’t working. I have a select button like this

<select onclick=\"populateList()\">
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
</select>

My Javascript is in the same folder and is linked as:

<script src=\"script.js\"></script>

In that file, the function is so simple. Just:

function populateList() {
console.log(\"Test\");
}

And it won\’t work. Any ideas as to why?

EDIT:

I\’ve tried doing the onchange, onchange(), onclick, onclick(), onClick(), ect. and still nothing.

Edit2:I didn\’t change a thing but it started working. Thank you all. Much love.

Edit 3: Nevermind. I\’ve determined at least that it works when the script is directly in the html but not when it\’s in script.js
