Is this challenge wrong?

I can´t see why my answer for this challenge is wrong, it always says: "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."

my code is : var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?"); if (answer.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") { alert("You are correct"); } if I try it outside of the challenge, all is good, is there a problem with the challenge?

app.js 
var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if (answer.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") {
  alert("You are correct");
}

You're not told to use .toUpperCase()

var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if (answer === "JavaScript") {
  alert("You are correct");
}
