Adding opening and closing scripts tags inside the body of the webpage. 

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

On Task 1 I receive a well done and move to Task 2,

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

I see a couple of issues:

  • when they say, "Inside the script tags..." in task 2, they mean inside the tags you added in task 1
  • a script tag should not have a src attribute if the code is present between the tags
