Inside the file

HI.

I can´t figure it out how I place the alert code inside the file. Can someone explain it for me :)?

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="shout.js"></script>
  <Script>
    alert("I DID IT");
   </script>  
  </body>
</html>
shout.js

At the top there are 2 tabs....click on the shout.js tab and a new empty file shows up, you will add the alert in that file. It is tricky because they don't tell you there are 2 files on that exercise: index.html and shout.js

Click on the tab (at the top) for the shout.js file...then put your alert in that file, not in the html file. Delete the following also. (and be careful about capitalizing <Script>...keep it lower case when you type tags). <Script> alert("I DID IT"); </script>

Happy coding!
