This challenge only asks you to add one set of tags to put code between. Remove the ones that load in the external file ("scripts.js") and you should pass.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 10,013 PointsJust remove your first <script> tag. Not sure why you included that.

<script>
alert("'warning!'"); </script>

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 10,013 PointsPerhaps the challenge is confused about the double, then single quotes? The above worked for me, but try removing the single quotes:
<body>
<script>
alert("warning!"); </script>
</body>

7,089 PointsTo give you a good answer I would have to know what the first task was, and then know what the second task was. To know why the first task is now wrong. In the future try to write just a little bit more descriptive :).
