<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<script>
alert("warning");
alert("Welcome back from treehouse");
alert("warning");
</script>
</html>

18,877 PointsAre you meant to put the alert in the script.js file instead of the HTML file?
Joey Song
Courses Plus Student 773 PointsIt seems like it but then again I can't access any HTML file because its a challenge quiz. It just says to open an alert analog with the message but doesn't specifically tell me where to put it.

Andrew Rickards
18,877 PointsWhich code challenge is it? I'll have a look.
Joey Song
Courses Plus Student 773 PointsNot certain which one exactly but its the first challenge for introduction to javascript. Stage 1 introducing javascript?
Andrew Rickards
18,877 PointsThe script tags need to go inside the body.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
alert('Warning!');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Courses Plus Student 773 Pointsthank you for replying Andrew. My mistake the first question asked me to type "script src="scripts.js"></script> and got it right and 2nd question now is asking me to open an alert analog with the message "warning" but the hint says the code should be added to the code written in the previous task. I thought you can only have one file per script? I typed alert("warning"); on the next line below my first answer and still is wrong answer.
