Creating a Variable with a String Challenge?

In this challenge I am passing the first part but in the second part the challenge I keep getting an alert that 'Task 1 is no longer correct'. I'm not changing anything in by code between task 1 and task 2, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

var player= 'Jasmine'; document.write(Jasmine);

app.js 
var player= 'Jasmine';
document.write(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>
</body>
</html>

Since the name of the variable is player you should pass that to the write() function.
