Hi Emily, You need to open and close script tags and inside use function alert(). The code should look like this:

<!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>
</body>
</html>

You did well. Just lower the case of the S of script. and remove the src attribute. The next step is using the function alert to open a dialog.
