Not sure what I'm doing wrong to receive an error. But the way I currently have my code, makes the code from challenge 1 wrong.

28,558 PointsYou might want to thoroughly read over the challenge text one more time:
Inside the shout.js file, write the code for an alert dialog with the message 'I DID IT!'
Your alert code is fine, but you have embedded it in the HTML file which is not what the challenge is asking you to do. There are two files in the workspace, index.html and shout.js. The reason why you were asked to link to the shout.js file in the first task is so that you can place your JavaScript code in that file.
