The code is good and work as expected but i got a bummer??? Tried adding and removing the spaces

I have no idea of what you expect.

app.js 
var answer;
 answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if (answer==='Javascript')
  alert("You are correct");
index.html

Hi Thibaut,

Strings in javascript are case sensitive. 'Javascript' is not the same as 'JavaScript' Notice the capital 'S'

That's the only issue with your code.

And i'm serious when i say "what do you expect", you ask something, you got it, and still challenge is not valid, do you want a parsing so any string containing the word "javascript" in it will work? Considering i havent see something like this in the previous video i doubt it...

Oh i didnt notice the S, thanks very much, not use to see majuscules everywhere i didnt see it T_T Also if someone has a perfect code and still cant validate, remember that they are expecting us to put curly braces on single statement too....
