615 PointsAlerts and script file data not appearing on my workspace
Here's my code; it doesn't work I'm getting no alert boxes popping up and I've saved the files a few times. Do I need to refresh browser before previewing?
<title> Javascript Basics</title>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
<script>
alert("Hello from Treehouse again.");</script>
Edited: The code I input is not showing up. It shows here in my edit box but the syntax is completely removed once I post. What do I need to remove or change on my end. Sorry for the NOOB question. !

47,913 PointsAs for the syntax disappearing, it's because it was HTML, which Treehouse automatically renders into your question, instead of showing the code. I fixed it for you, and if you want to see how I did so, you can try editing your question. As for what's going on, I'll put that in an actual answer
