Why is it not working?

I am tryin to answer the task (number 1 and 2). I was able to figure out number 1. But when I add the code to number 2, I get a message saying task 1 is no longer write? What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code I wrote: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>JavaScript Basics</title> </head> <body> <script src="Ofri.js"></script> <script>alert("Warning!");</script> </body> </html>

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

Remove the first script tags you added, the ones that say: 

<script src="Ofri.js"></script>

they only want you to have one set of script tags for number one.

Your first set of script tags is likely what's causing the problem. You don't need to source in an external .js file. The challenge is just asking you to write the script inline, like you did between the second set of script tags. Try taking out that first line of script tags.
