I can either get task One or task Two to work but not both together. I typed alert("Warning!"); yet it says I didn't

Bet I'm making a silly mistake in my code, but I can't get both to run together in Task Two. If I get Warning! to work, it says Task One can't run. When I get it to run, it says I didn't call the alert function. :( ?

Hi, I think the challenge is only asking for one set of script tags in the body, it appears to me that you have two.

Exactly. Jamie, when it comes to challenges, only do what the challenge asks you to do. You shouldn't add in any extra unnecessary code to the challenge such as the line:

<script src="scripts.js"></script>

Delete that line from the challenge as it does not belong.
