"Make sure you define the HTML Doctype tag."

The challenge asks me to make an HTML doctype. I had the following code:

<!DOCTYPE_html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> </head> <body>

    </body>

</html>

What is wrong with this?

You forgot the < html >< /html > tags around to content.

There's also no underscore between !DOCTYPE and html :-)
