Remove the src,

<script src="scripts.js">
alert("Warning");
</script>

You don't need too have a source tag in there if you are going to run java script on the html page

Hey Tom,

Remove the src attribute from your script tag. There's no reason to have it for this challenge.

You should simply have:

<script>
  alert('Warning!');
</script>
