Treehouse TeacherHi there! I'm not sure that I'd say that there's anything really wrong with your code other than it doesn't exactly match what the challenge asks you to do. Rather, you did what the challenge asks, but then you did something extra. You are linking to an external JavaScript file which is not asked for by the challenge. Chances are that this file doesn't exist in this context and that is what is causing the error.
If I simply delete this line, your code passes:
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
On a side note, while it's not absolutely necessary in this case, it's generally considered best practice to end all statements with a semicolon, so I would get used to writing your correct line this way:
alert("Warning!");
Hope this helps!

Treehouse TeacherTo be honest, when I started composing my answer, yours still wasn't visible on this post. You were succinct in your response and quick to respond. Thank you for helping out in the Community and here's un upvote from me!
