Javascript basics question

Can't seem to figure out this code task. I do the first task fine but every time I do the second one it tells me that now the first one's wrong. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

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

  <script scr="scripts.js"></script>

I get a different message.

I pasted your code in for task 2 and got: *"Bummer! You didn't call the alert() function inside the <script> tags."

This makes sense as the objective of task 2 is "write a function that will open an alert dialog with the message 'Warning!'", and that hasn't been done yet.

Also, no matter how you spell it, you don't need an attribute in the script tag for this challenge.

<script scr="scripts.js">alert("Warning!")</script>

But as I said before, you do not need an attribute in the script tag! And as Robert pointed out, "scr" is not a valid attribute anyway.
