JavaScript JavaScript Basics Hello, JavaScript! Write JavaScript Statements

kindly help. i'm stuck

There are two files: index.html and app.js. To run the programming in app.js, you first need to load it into index.html.

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

  <script>
    alert("Warning!");
  </script>

There are two kinds of "script" tags. One type is for when you include the code between the tags, and that is the kind shown here. There's even code included in between, but it's not related to what the instructions ask for.

The other kind don't have any code between them, but the starting tag includes a "src" attribute that is set to the path (or name) of an external JavaScript module to load. That's the kind this challenge is asking you to add.

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler.

Ibikunle, To Steven's point, since the challenge is asking you to 'load app.js into the index.html' file you have to reference the app.js file in your script tag, so your script tag should look like this:

<script src='app.js'></script>

Hope this helps...
