Hi Edgar, You are calling a js file called scripts.js, have you tried placing your alert in the scripts.js file rather than the html file?

Hi Edgar, It appears that you have a typo in your script source tag. It should be src instead of scr. I hope this solves your problem.

Happy coding! Brenna

You need to type alert() inside first <script>

 <script scr="scripts.js">
 alert("Warning");
</script>
