I have web3@0.20.2 installed using npm . when I call web3.eth.contract() it says that it is not a function and when I use new web3.eth.contract it says it is neither a constructor. This is my code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script src="./node_modules/web3/dist/web3.min.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input name="choice" type="text"> Vote: </input>
<button id="submit">Submit : </button>
</body>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script>
if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {
web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
} else {
// set the provider you want from Web3.providers
web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
}
// Previous if/else statement removed for brevity
web3.eth.defaultAccount = web3.eth.accounts[0];
var vote= web3.eth.contract([
