There is a message that pops up indicating that "Task 1" is no longer passing. I'm not sure what that means.

I would like to make sure that this is the correct format. Is there a way to reset the whole thing and start over to it verifies that its done correctly.

That error generally means that the code you've just written has introduced a syntax error. Try returning to the first step of the challenge and start over. Or you can try and debug your current code, as it is causing the problem.

There is a way to reset the code during the challenges. There should be a button that says "Reset Code" on the top right hand corner next to the "Check Work" Button.

task 1 is asking to put an open and closing script tags.

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

  <script></script>

</body>
</html>

task 2

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--add alert('Warning!')-->
  <script>
     alert('Warning!')
  </script>

</body>
</html>

Hope that helps...
