Hi Sally, The issue in the code is that your ending script tag doesn't have the backslash. Additionally, you linked to an outside Javascript file that isn't needed in the challenge. The reason we are using the script tag is so that we can just keep the javascript code in the same file as the html. The script tag should look like this:

<script>
   //The JS code goes in here
</script>
