(I'm new to HTML/JS). I'm trying to clean up my HTML file to bear-bone markup and put all logic in a .js file, including the CDN inclusions. I'm aware of How to include CDN in javascript file (*.js)?
In the HTML below, I tried to move the 2 'src' lines at the bottom, to form_validation.js, also shown below. But when I do that, the Semantic UI form validation stops working and I get error messages that .form is not a function etc. That addCDN() call in the JS file doesn't do it.
I imagine this has to do with me not understanding the order in which these things are processed by the browser... I would greatly appreciate some education.

<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/semantic-ui/2.4.1/semantic.min.css">
<style>.container {margin: 15em;}</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<form class="ui form">
<p>Give this a try:</p>
<div class="field">
<label>Name</label>
<input placeholder="Your Name?" name="name" type="text">
</div>
<div class="ui submit button">Submit</div>
<div class="ui error message"></div>
</form>
</div>

function addCDN(){
// Can be removed? Ideally not in the HTML file...
var jq = document.createElement('script');
jq.setAttribute('src',
'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js'
);
document.head.appendChild(jq);
var sui = document.createElement('script');
sui.setAttribute('src',

);
document.head.appendChild(sui);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
addCDN(); // this doesn't seem to happen :(
$('.ui.form').form({
fields: {name : ['minLength[6]', 'empty']}
});
});```
