It seems all correct to me, is this a bug?

Hi, The check for this challenge doesn't seems to work

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-basics/making-decisions-with-conditional-statements/introducing-conditional-statements-2

It correctly checks the first task, but when I add some code to pass the second task it displays the following message: "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.". However I only added an 'if' statement to the previous code.

The code I use for the second task is the following:

var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");

if (answer.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT') {
  alert('You are correct');
}

The first line is the one I use in task 1, then I add the rest in task 2.

Thanks,

Your code is functional. The problem is that you're going above and beyond what they're asking. You're actually validating the user's input regardless of what case they type in, which is actually a good thing! But... they didn't ask for that and now they can't evaluate your solution. What they're looking for is much more simple. Take a look:

var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");

if(answer === 'JavaScript') {
  alert("You are correct");
}

Thanks! The error message is a little misleading
