1) For task 1 enter the following:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="shout.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

2) Click 'Check Work' then do not edit anything in this code again

3) For task 2 click on the shout.js tab. This tab is at the top just to the right of the index.html tab. (Up until this point your shout file has been blank.) It looks like this

4) Here enter exactly the following:

alert('I DID IT!')

5) Click 'Check Work'
