Bummer! You haven't set the colors yet.

var bgColor = "blue"; var textColor = "#FF9933";

I try this code, however the code still runs as an error.

Paulius/Logan,

Just to clarify, you'll want to put the script tags BEFORE the closing body tag, as follows:

<!doctype html>
<html>

<head>
<title>Here's My Title</title>
</head>

<body>

<p>Here is some body content for my webpage.</p>

<script src="myscript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

I tried it just now and it worked so it might of just been a temporary bug. I would try refreshing the page and retrying the challenge.

Where do you put the <script></script> tags in the page?
