bit funny this one, I've tried var myname but no dice. What am I doing wrong?

If I was going to assign a value I would write:

var myname = "Value";

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