it is working!!!!!

the message is popping up correctly and the checker keeps asking me to fix it!

script.js 
var a = 10;
var b = 20;
var c = 30;
if (a>b){
alert("a is greater then b");
}else {
var message = alert ("a is not greater then b.");
};

treehouse is really picky on what its wants you to display. Make sure you type exactly what they want you to output. Ive noticed a couple of spelling errors and non capitalized words. It also ask to wrap the message in single quotes instead of double. Also you do not need to store the second alert anywhere, a simple call would do. After changing these grammar errors it worked for me.
