  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
  <script>alert("Warning!");</script>

Hey Elizabeth. You have the answer inside of your, but you have two extra script elements that are messing with the functionality. Since the challenge wants the script tag inside the body, take away the one between the <head> tags. Also, we don't need a src file, so if you take out that element, then you'll be good to go. It should look something like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<title>JavaScript Basics</title>

</head>

<body>

<script>alert("Warning!");</script>

</body>

</html>

Hope I helped! :)
