Task one no longer passing

For some reason, I put the script in for shout.js. and everything is fine. Then on the next task I add another script for an alert and it tells me task one is no longer passing, yet the alert pops up on the screen. I have not changed a thing about the code in the first task

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="shout.js"></script>

  <script> alert("I DID IT")
  </script>


</body>
</html>
shout.js

Task 2 should all be done in the shout.js tab.

In Task 1, you add the tags that load the other file. Then the rest of the work is done in that other file.

After task 1, nothing else should be added to the HTML file.
