<body> <script src="=scripts.js"></script> <script> alert("Warning");</script> I am stuck at the above code.

From the above code which is from JavaScript Basics, i get stuck and i am receiving a message that Task 1 is no longer passing. Then there is a command box above that says "Go to task one", after that i still can't move forward to the next challenge

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

You have two script tags, and only need one. You don't need the script tag that points to (in this case) a nonexistent javascript file. You just need the script tag that opens the alert box

I did that too. It was correct but I can't move forward to the next task. It takes me back to task 1

Restart the code challenge and when it asks you to put in the script tags, don't put in <script src="scripts.js">. Just leave it as <script></script>

I need to include the message 'warning' inside the script tag, do I put it in between the ><, or do I create a different line for the alert message?

I think I got it, the alert goes in between the ><
