Can someone that solved this problem guide me to solve it

the scripts.js file: alert("Hej,you're back for more?");

index. html file <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> <title>JavaScript Basics</title> <script src="scripts.js"></script> <script> alert("Hej again, amigo"); </script>

</head> <body> <div class="container"> <h1>Where to place your JavaScript code.</h1> <script src="scripts.js"></script>

</body> </html>

The message from scripts.js file does not appear. I checked chrome's settings and JS is enabled.

Did you add the script to your index.html?

There are different ways to implement an external .js-file in an html. One option is the following:

<script src="path-to/your-script.js"></script>

Replace the path to your script with your info. Then this code snippet should be placed short before the closing body html tag.

I fixed it. I reseted the options for Google Chrome and then it worked.
