206 PointsI'm stuck on the challenge of adding opening and closing script tags. Not sure what is required.
On the first of two challenges, I'm asked to add opening and closing script tags. My attempt was the example given earlier: <script src=.... and i passed on to the 2nd part of the challenge, to add a phrase "Warning!"...i attempted that as well, prefacing with <script> then alert(..... when i check my work it somehow invalidates the passing of step one. what happened?

5,042 PointsMake sure you are putting your alert(); code in between the script tags like so: <script> alert("Warning!"); </script>. Hope this helps.
