I can't get this to pass. I checked my syntax on external sites. It looks ok to me.

Thanks for any assistance.

scripts.js 
var answer;
answer=prompt('What day is it');
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="scripts.js"></script>

</html>

The challenge instructions say to ask the user "What day is it?", but your prompt is missing the question mark.

:warning: Be careful about testing a challenge in an external REPL. Issues relating to the challenge instructions won't be obvious there.
