Task 2 keeps saying task 1 is no longer passing even though I've made no changes to task 1.

Consider adding the code as of step one, then the code as of step two, so that we can better assist you :)

Ok, I checked it out, and it seems most errors will say "Task 1 is no longer passing" instead of giving specifics like "Parse Error" or " ___ is undefined". Which is weird, because I can get it to display both of those if I leave the error of Task 2 while trying Task 1 again.

Be sure you have quotes around the word when using the ".indexOf()" method, and be sure you're not missing the semi-colon at the end of the line:

quick.indexOf("brown");

should work for you.

Maybe Jim Hoskins can explain why it throws that vague error. It certainly doesn't help with solving the issues :P Good luck with the rest of the course!
