Dumb bash question

Question

I'm doing a develop work and need to quickly change from one folder to another. So i created a simple script
cd /folder1/folder1-sub1/folder1-sub2/
save it as 'docdir', and chmod 755 docdir
then
./docdir
nothing happens
What I expect to happen is to change from login folder to new /folder1/folder1-sub1/folder1-sub2/ but no change?????? also no error??
thanks Mike

Sorry but I find my mistake amusing. It worked but I didn't know what I was telling it to do.
So If I understand you correctly what I did was move the scripts shell from one directory to another. So to continue on that thought one could write a script that way (alright it probably wouldn't make sense to do that, but you could)
To see if I understand the difference, these totally arbitrary examples
call bash shell,
cd /var
cat filenames | grep march > /tmp/changes.txt
cd /var/apache
cat filenames | grep march > /tmp/changes.txt
cd /tmp
grep -i am changes.txt > morningchanges.txt
Where we normally would do this by calling those files with the folder location
cat /var/filenames | grep march > /tmp/changes.txt
cat var/apache/filenamesdiferentfolder | grep march > /tmp changes.txt
grep -i am changes.txt > morningchanges.txt
well let me know if I understood it.
