12,698 PointsHi Donald, Is the story.js file in a js folder? If so, src attribute should look something like "js/story.js".
You might want the script tag linked either higher or lower on your HTML doc, but not seeing the rest of the code I can't say for sure.

13,807 PointsAllison, It is not in a folder. It is on the same level as the index file. Here is the complete code.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> <title>The Story Maker</title> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <h1>The Story Maker Program</h1> <script type="text/javascript" src="story.js" > </script> </div> </body> </html>

12,698 PointsAh, I see. Try src="../story.js" since they're in the same folder.
