259 Pointswriting a function that opens alert
It asks me to write a function that will open an alert dialog with the message 'Warning!'. I don't know what I did wrong, it just gives me a message "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer running"

8,086 PointsYour JavaScript is fine, but you are referencing scripts.js, which does not exist. The document expects code from the file in the src rather than what you have written in the tags.
