Victor,

Try this

alert("Hello from victor");
document.write("<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basics</h1>");
alert("Thanks");

Notice the Quotation marks around the H1 html tags.

That sounds like your workspace screen. In the top section you should see script.js, that is where the code above goes. Checkout Workspaces and Click "Start Tour" for more help on getting to know workspaces.
