241,970 PointsThe challenge should have an HTML file and a JavaScript file on different tabs. Select the "app.js" tab to get to where the Javascript code should go.

380 Pointsdo u have any suggestions ?
Steven Parker
241,970 PointsScript code can either go between tags or in a separate file. This particular challenge is apparently using the 2nd approach (I updated my previous comments accordingly).
One thing to watch for is the "src" attribute, which is used to load in a separate file (and would not be used when the code is between the tags).
