Don't forget you need closing </script> tags.

You have your body tag between your script tags. Should have the script tags inside the body tags. Should look like this. 

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script>
  </script>
</body>
</html>
