2,322 Pointsand this is the instruction on the secound step: Inside the shout.js file, write the code for an alert dialog with the message 'I DID IT!' the problem is even if i remove the div part it says (Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.) !!! and i can not pass it

20,364 PointsYes, thank you for your reply and explanation of the challenges.
I see. But my additional question, too, was what exactly and literally are you typing in the second step.
And my question 2 was where are you typing it (i.e.: in the html file or in the shout.js file)?
yousif alyousif
2,322 Pointsthanks for your replay guys i felt so stupid for that mistake sorry xD thanks for you help Nico
nico dev
20,364 PointsExactly! That's the reason you linked to it with the script tags in the html file, remember? Somehow, that was like telling to the html: 'Hey, look, I want to use the scripts that you'll find in the file shouts.js'. :)
And, by the way, make sure to check the instructions about exactly how you have to write the word (things like capital letters or non-caps, etc. are essential to make it through).
nico dev
20,364 PointsNo problem, glad to help, we're all in the same boat. I also get stuck everyday. :)
And, by the way, just in case anyone else has the same problem in the future and can find a way out, do you mind marking Steven's as best answer? That will help solve future similar problems.

Your <script> code is fine, but the instructions didn't say anything about adding a <div> element with a fancy attribute. Where did that come from?
yousif alyousif
2,322 PointsWell that was me trying to solve the problem but sadly it did not work and if i remove the div line it works but if i go to the secound step it refers me back to this one and says you did not link the "index.htm" file which the instruction says it should load first !
nico dev
20,364 PointsYes, it's just like Steven said.
Just a question, where and what are you typing in that second step you mention, yousif alyousif ?
Sometimes it brings you back to the first one, even though the error is actually in the second one.

2,322 Pointsthis is the instruction for the first step: There are two files: a web page, index.html, and a JavaScript file, shout.js. To run any programming in the shout.js file, you first need to load it into the index.html file. Add the required HTML to load the external JavaScript file into the web page. Make sure to add your code inside the <body> of the page.
