There are two files: a web page, index.html, and a JavaScript file, shout.js. To run any programming in the shout.js file, you first need to load it into the index.html file. Add the required HTML to load the external JavaScript file into the web page. Make sure to add your code inside the <body> of the page.
<!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>
</body>
</html>

Then you need an equal sign between the attribute and the value, and it's good practice to enclose the value in quotes. So for example, to load a file named shout.js, you would add this to the HTML:
<script src="shout.js"></script>

You need to keep the first script tag open and close it after "shout.js" , also make sure you put quotes between shout.js

231,269 PointsYou need to show your code to make it possible to identify the issue.
Also, always create a fresh, new question instead of adding one as an "answer" to an old one.
