12,600 PointsIt looks and works fine. In what context are you trying to use it?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>alert("Hello world");</script>
</body>
</html>

4,118 Pointsi 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.
