Treehouse TeacherHi there! On step 1 of the challenge you are to add only an opening and closing script element. Your code contains three script elements. On Step 2 of the challenge you are supposed to add an alert with the text "Warning!". One of your script elements has an alert, but the text doesn't match exactly what the challenge asks for.
Note that challenges are very exacting and require you to follow the instructions to the letter. Even code that may be fully functional outside the challenge may cause the challenge to fail if the precise requirements aren't met. Thus, it is always a good idea to try not to do anything the challenge doesn't explicitly ask for.
Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck!
