Javascript backticks causing error in IE11?
Hello,
I'm working on a personal page with very limited knowledge of html so I apologize for the simplicity of my question.
The following javascript is causing errors only in IE.
$("#mouseXY").html(`X: ${mouse.x*10} Y: ${mouse.y*10}`);
Searching through google has led me to believe that it's the ` symbols that are causing this issue in IE as it doesn't support template literals? The script runs perfectly fine on every other browser.
How can I alter this portion of the script to make it work for IE?
I've tried everything I can with my little knowledge of html with no success..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Correct, IE11 doesn't support all of ES6's features.
The well-supported way of including variables into text is adding it:
$("#mouseXY").html("X: " + (mouse.x*10) + " Y: " + (mouse.y*10));
Or use this slightly more readable version:
var x = mouse.x * 10;
var y = mouse.y * 10;
$("#mouseXY").html("X: " + x + " Y: " + y);
