It doesn't look like you've applied any of the changes I suggested in my answer to your previous question.

You've got the code that loads the external file, but it's up in the head area. The instructions said "Make sure to add your code inside the <body> of the page." The script tags that are currently in the body section aren't part of this challenge.

Then for task 2, all the script code should be in the other file (on the other tab). And instead of using document.write, the instructions ask for "the code for an alert dialog with the message 'I DID IT!'".

So, from where you are now, you need to:

  • remove the "script" tags and what's between them from the body area
  • move the script tags that are currently in the head area down into the body (where the others were)
  • switch to the "shout.js" tab
  • add new code there that will open an alert dialog
  • make the alert dialog show the specific message asked for
