It looks like you misinterpreted the instructions.

For task 2, the challenge says, "Inside the shout.js file, write the code for an alert dialog with the message 'I DID IT!'", but it looks like you added a second set of script tags to the HTML file instead.

So put the HTML file back to how it was after task 1, then add the new code in the shout.js file (without any HTML tags). Also keep in mind that the challenge may be picky about the output strings, so be sure to copy exactly what is in the instructions, including using the same case for the letters.
