Not too sure I understand the issue you're having but try making sure that your code has all the correct punctuations in the correct places. I had this issue earlier and the instructions were not running correctly.

Hey Darnekka Davila,

I'm familiar with the issue you're having. The problem is that you didn't save the code of that file. For example, Let's say you added an alert message to the '.scripts' file and saved it, this doesn't save any new code added to the '.html' file. You have to click on the '.html' file and press save again to save any new content of that file as well. I believe this should resolve your issue. Take care and all the best with your coding!
