Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. :(

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

Task one only asks you to add the script tags. You shouldn't try to add anything inside the tags. Also, the syntax goes between the opening and closing task when it is asked. Task 1 

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

comment if you need help on task 2

*Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, I am still receiving the same error message. Please let me know whats wrong with the task 1. I only get the error message after I try the 2nd task? Thank you again.

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

</body> </html>

You have the syntax right. I believe the reason that it is giving you an error is because you are creating a new script tag and writing the alert there. You need to right it inside the original <script></script>

If you are still having problems after trying that then i will give you the code. I just don't want to give you the answer right away and keep you from figuring it out yourself.

So if it still gives you an error let me know
