What am I not getting?

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="shout.js"></script>
  <script>alert("I DID IT");</script>

Hi Robert,

You wrote your code into a different <script> tag in your HTML. The challenge requires you to write your code in the "shout.js" file which shows up as a tab on top. Try it out.

Elad.
