Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list I keep getting this even after i comment out all the lines

As described in the title. I have double checked the program and even commented out all the lines in the scripts.js. However this error message still shows up and the pop-out windows is not working。 scripts.js:

alert("Help me fix this program!");
alert("Can you get this message to appear?");
document.write("<h2>My first JavaScript program</h2>");
document.write("<p>I'm practicing 'debugging'.</p>");

Is you js file linked to a html file? I agree with Sergey Podgornyy that there isn't a syntax problem.
