script tags

I have been taking the script tags quiz and I can pass the first test but when I take the other witch is about adding on to the script tags with a Warning alert the warning alert works but it says that now the first test is wrong so I go back and it told me I had too many script tags

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="javascript.js"></script>
  <script> 
    alert("Warning"); </script>
</body>
</html>

When the code challenge only asks you to create a "pair of script tags" it means

<script></script>

In the second part you just put in your alert message.

Working solution:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>


  <script>
  alert("Warning");
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Neil is correct.

Part 1 of challenge:

<body>
  <script></script>
</body>

Part 2 of challenge:

<body>
  <script>alert(Warning!)</script>
</body>

The challenge does not ask you to put in a script src, that is why it is not letting you pass. If you add (or take out) something from the challenges, it will return an error and say you are incorrect.

Hope this helps. Keep Coding! :)
