       <?php
        function trigger_alert() {
        	echo '<script language="Javascript">alert("Your entry has been submitted. You may have to wait for an Editor to approve it.")</script>';
        }
        function some_post_actions( $post_ID )  {
          $friends = 'email@gmail.com';
          wp_mail( $friends, "Site updated", 'The blog site has been updated. Please check for a new entry.' );
   
        }?><?php add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'trigger_alert');
       return $post_ID;?>
       ```
   
 * So thats what I have. The emailing of the designated user works fine but I simply
   cannot get the Javascript alert to be called successfully.
 * Any pointers would be gratefully received 🙂

 * Please note, I screwed that code up. It should be:
 *     ```
       <?php
        function trigger_alert() {
        	echo '<script language="Javascript">alert("Your entry has been submitted. You may have to wait for an Editor to approve it.")</script>';
        }
        function some_post_actions( $post_ID )  {
          $friends = 'email@gmail.com';
          wp_mail( $friends, "Site updated", 'The blog site has been updated. Please check for a new entry.' );
          add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'trigger_alert');
          return $post_ID;?>
        }?>
       ```

 * Just to add insult to injury, I screwed that up too. I should have this as the
   last line:
 * `<?php add_action('draft_to_publish', 'some_post_actions');?>`
 * Thanks for sticking with me 😉
