The problem is that you now have two <script> tags on your page. There should only be one, and it should not have a src attribute. So if you remove your first <script> tag 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>

Then your code will pass.

Did you copy and paste the code I posted? I know that the code in my example works as I verified it before I posted it. Maybe reset the challenge and try again, sometimes the challenge checker can get a bit buggy.
