For those having trouble with logging messages to console.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out. When you include jQuery, change the script tag to a secured link. This fixed all my problems because jQuery wouldn't load in Chrome, making the jQuery we wrote before the body useless.

Edit: I'd like to add, I was following this tutorial on cloud9. Get requests are done with https, meaning I needed jQuery included using https. So this may not apply to those connecting via localhost:3000

I think a more complete fix would be to load jQuery using: //code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.js rather than http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.js or https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.js to cater for those who would be following it on either http or https.

Should be aware to put $('#m').val() below body or put the selector inside document.ready
