<script> tags.
<!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>
In order for what you wrote to work, you would need to edit a file called script.js in the scripts directory, which you don't have access to.
