I'm not getting the first message to pop up in my code, but the pop up for the "another message from inside.index"

im getting the secondary pop up and the HELLO from java on the actual page but not the initial welcome message. Where have I messed up? I've copied the code almost perfectly and cant seem to find my mistake.

This is my code in my index.HTML <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>JavaScript Basics</title> <link href="css/style.css" rel"stylesheet"> <script src="js/script.js"></script> <script> alert("another message from inside.index.html"); </script> </head> <body> <main> <h1>Hello, JavaScript!</h1> <script> alert("another message from inside.index.html"); </script> </main> </body> </html>

and this is my Script.JS file code

alert("Hey! You came back?");

In your html code, the link is to "js/script.js". Is "script.js" in a folder named "js"? Is "index.html" in the same folder as the folders "js" and "css"?

In linking your css file, you might want to change rel"stylesheet" to rel="stylesheet", but that doesn't affect your JavaScript file.
