JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Introducing JavaScript Write Another Program

I've just started and I'm at the task where I have to create a "Warning!" alert inside the <script> .

I've rewatched the video and just don't get what I'm doing wrong.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

You should create an opening and closing script tag inside the body.

<script></script>

Inside this script tag you should put an alert that says "Warning!"

alert("Warning")

I tried that and it then tells me that task 1 no longer works. Task 1 is inserting the script that tells it to pull from a source

You're doing something wrong then.

<!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>

I figured it out. I gave it another look today and got it immediately. Thanks for helping!
