I see two issues:

  • the challenge did not ask for a src attribute to be added to the tag
  • the task 2 code should be added between the script tags already there from in task 1

When done, you'll have just one set of script tags, located in the body, with no "src" attribute, and the code will be between them.

Hey there Samuel. You are very close! The two things going on in this challenge were:

  • Task 1: Add Script Tag between the Body tag
  • Task 2: Inside the Script tag write a function ....etc.

The script tag in the head element is not needed. Simply move your alert function between the script tags in the body and ditch the src = "script.js"

I hope this helps!
