You have at least two mistakes:
- unwanted slash ( / ) in opening tag <script type="text/javascript"> ( you can use the shorter <script> as Javascript is both the default script language and the only :P )
- forgot the function identifier ( name ), probably 'alert' as suggested by @hello world!!! ... but can be 'document.write' as your <body> is empty may mean you just use the html code as wrapper for your script ^^...
[edit]
For the code playground case, you have three tab html, css and js... css and js are specific and treated as external files linked ( silently ) in the <head> of the html tab. To just use js, you can as well type the code in the js tab WITHOUT the <script> tags, or normally type your JS code anywhere you want in html tab, embeded in <script> tags ;)

You have to say alert("this is an alert box")
the alert in front of it lets it know you want it to be an alert box.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</script type="text/javascript">
("This is an alert box!");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
this is what I used I even took a pic and did this exactly as it showed but when I hit run it shows syntax error

<scripttype="text/javascript">
alert("This is an alert box!");
just type this in js if you haven't noticed the sections for html css and js.

in your code you wrote the html code in the javascript section. I make that mistake too sometimes
