Hi Kiran,

The challenge is asking you to call a function that will open an alert dialog box. If you wrap it inside of an anonymous function like you have here, then no code is actually ever being called. Since alert() itself is a function (a method of the Window object), you simply need:

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

Hope that helps.

Happy coding!
Leslie
