Hi,

In the preceding video, there are 2 methods shown:

  • alert
  • document.write

I think you're trying to use the alert (but note that you're using a wrong syntax) but what you need to do is just a simple document.write.

This should do it for you:

<script>
     document.write("Welcome to my site")
</script>

I am writing this code document.ready("Welcome to my site");

But, still it is not passing the test. What I am doing wrong?

Lol, ignore my comment. I got it fixed. I wrote ready instead of write.
