Challenge Task 2 of 2

Challenge Task 2 of 2 requests the following: “Inside the script tags, write a function that will open an alert dialog with the message 'Warning!'”

This is what I wrote: <script> alert("Opening script inside the body"); alert("´Warning!´"); alert("Closing script inside the body"); </script> Apparenty, I didn't put 'Warning!' inside the alert() function.?

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("Opening script inside the body");
      alert("´Warning!´");
  alert("Closing script inside the body");
  </script>

</body>
</html>

Hello Patrick! The challenge is asking you to write the alert function with the warning message, inside the script tags.

Your code 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>

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