Hey there Mathieu,

Could you please post some of your code?

sure: 

<script>
  var quick = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";

      var quickLength    = quick.length;
      var indexOfBrown = quick.indexOf("brown");
      var tenthCharacter = quick.charAt(10));
      var wordBrown = quick;
      var quickUpper = quick;
      var quickLower = quick;
</script>

Thanks Mathieu,

So your code seems correct, and it worked on my browser. There seems to be some unnecessary space between the 

var quickLength = ....

and its equal sign. I don't know if it's my browser that's rendering as such or a typo? Maybe try fixing that. It should be 

 var quickLength = quick.length;

instead of 

 var quickLength    = quick.length;

If that doesn't work, (also )take a closer look at your tenthCharacter variable (There are 2 small typos there.)

var tenthCharacter = quick....

Let me know if you found them, if not I'll help you out.

I had this happen on one of the CSS challenges, & my code was not in the right place to work with both the first & second tasks. The code for the first task may be correct if it's on one line versus another, or outside a certain container, etc. but to make it correct for the second task, those lines of code may need to be in a slightly different place.
