Simple typo, it should be src not scr.

There are two issues:

  1. You have a typo, scr should be src.

  2. Filenames are (on many systems) case-sensitive. So Shout.js and shout.js are not the same file.

If you fix the typo and fix the capitalization on the filename like this:

<!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>
</body>
</html>

Then your code will pass.
