I got, error saying that task one is not longer passing. but I haven't touched them.

sometimes the application force me to redo all the tasks without no reason. the first task is not broken.

    <style>
      html {

    <h2>Strings: Methods</h2>
    <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(9);
          var wordBrown = quick.substr(10,5);
          var quickUpper = quick.toUpper();

I see what you're saying, Ida Brogie. The error given should not cause the first task to stop passing the test especially since the later tasks do not involve the first variable and the string variable quick is never changed in the later tasks. That looks like a bug within the challenge. I'll write up an error report and send it to the help desk.

Hi Ida,

The method for changing a string to uppercase is toUpperCase(). Please let us know if your code is still not working after this. Edit: perhaps I misunderstood - this is a bug hunt and not how to advance. sorry :)
