12,035 PointsProblem with Script 'alert!; in Challenge Task 2 of 2
Challenge Task 2 of 2 asks: Inside the script tags, write a function that will open an alert dialog with the message 'Warning!'
The error alert reads: "You didn't call the alert() function inside the <script> tags."
However, when I insert <script> on either side of the alert message or I just place a <script> above it, the error message reads "Looks like you have too many <script> tags. You only need one."
What am I doing wrong?
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src=scripts.js></script>
alert("Warning!")
</body>
</html>
