After playing with it I did figure out why it did not work when I linked to it through the USB. I linked through it with the :3000 in the which is the link that I get from Cloud9 when I preview the page. The link was:
192.168.7.2:3000/preview/thermostat.html I didn't know that the default/root directory for web pages was /var/lib/cloud9 , I had thought it was the root directory /root and I also didn't think it mattered where the HTML file was located or how it was linked to through the browser, I thought it would work from any directory through any route. Once I linked to the HTML through a direct route without the :3000 it worked fine. So when you point to the link given in Cloud9 the HTML/JS program won't work and I think this is why the Cloud9 preview doesn't actually run the javascript when you preview the file you create and edit. So once I linked directly as such USB 192.168.7.2/thermostat.html or Ethernet 130.140.37.188/thermostat.html Everything did work in both cases. Some things do work through the preview link in cloud9 and others do not. Thanks Jason and everyone else for all the help.
