It looks and works fine. In what context are you trying to use it?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<script>alert("Hello world");</script>

</body>
</html>

You can test it here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_alert

i thought so... it was a code challenge who gave me the error " Bummer! Make sure you put the <script> tags inside the <body> of the page." I need to report this, but first i wanted a second opinion. Thank you for you time.
