It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing?

Create a variable fullName:

var firstName = 'John'; var lastName = 'Doe'; var fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;

Why does it continue throw this 'Oops!' error?

script.js 
var firstName = 'Mark';
var lastName = 'Marino';
var fullName = firstname + " " + lastName;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Javascript is Case sensitive.

var fullName = firstname + " " + lastName;

/* this is not the same as */

var fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;

You just need to make sure your use the same case in your variables.
