Can you please provide the code that you yourself have written? It's still possible you accidentally added or removed something that is causing issues.

Hi,

I have the same code and when I click the preview it open the webpage with the h1 tag but the alerts and other functions are not working for me. Please see the below code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>JavaScript Basics – Challenge</title> <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head> <body> <main> <h1>Welcome to the Webpage!!</h1> </main> <script src="js/script.js"></script>
</body> </html>

alert("Warning! This message will self-destruct in"); alert("3..."); alert("2..."); alert("1..."); document.querySelector("h1").textContent = "🔥BOOM!🔥"; console.log("Message destroyed!");

Please let me know what is wrong with this. Thanks

Message in the console.log is not displaying. I have saved the file as well.
