The task is asking me to add alert(‘Warning) inside of the </script> Tags. I did and it still has changed anything.

231,275 PointsThere are two kinds of "script" tags. One kind has a "src" attribute that names an external file to be loaded and run. That kind should not have any code between the start and end tags.
The other kind does have code between the tags, but it does not have a "src" attribute in the start tag. That's the kind you need for this particular challenge. Then use JavaScript syntax inside the tags for calling the function, and be sure the code is between the tags and not inside the start tag:
<script>
alert("Warning");
</script>
