Open an alert dialog with the message 'Warning!'

I am having trouble with this challenge. I am doing exactly as stated. I am thinking it is just an error somewhere in the system. Can someone confirm? I am always getting the message. "It looks like task 1 is no longer passing". I have kept the script the same other than the src script tag. I have tried several things such as putting the alert in the head tag as well.

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

</head>
<body>
  <script src=scripts.js.></script>
  <script> alert("Warning!");</script>

</body>
</html>

I figured it out, for whatever reason, I had to remove the initial script src tag.

Hi, Andrew. What's going on with the value of script tag's src attribute?

What exactly do you mean?

currently I have this and its still wrong according to them. (Excuse the picture above, I fixed all the syntax with no results) I currently have the script src tag like so without spaces of course

< script src="script.js" > < /script >
