Can you please check this question and answer?

Can you please check this question and answer? I have <script>document.write(player);</script> as the answer, and it's telling me "Bummer! You didn't use the document.write() function".

app.js 
var player = 'Jasmine';
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>  
  <script src="app.js"></script>
  <script>document.write(player);</script>
</body>
</html>

I see, it has to be placed in app.js, not in index.html.

also, Kelly, it's worth knowing that what you have done in your code isn't wrong, only that in this particular challenge, it's expecting you to put all the JavaScript code in app.js.
