I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am being asked to use the prompt() method to ask "what day is it?" & store in var

and store in var message. I am writing var answer = prompt("what day is it?");

what am i missing?

scripts.js 
var answer = prompt("what day is it?");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<body>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>

Those challenges are so picky!

So apparently the challenge wanted the prompt to be "What day is it?" (with a capital "W"), but you wrote "what day is it?" (with a lower-case "w").

that's right capital the first word.

var answer = prompt("What day is it?");
