This challange simply doesn't work. I can't pass the second task. It says Task1 is no longer passing.

Question

Bug? As I stated in the title, after filling task 2 it says task1 is no longer passing. I don't get it as I didn't change anything on the first line, I just added an if statement which task2 suggests.

app.js

var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if ( answer.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT"){

  alert("You are correct");
}

index.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

This worked just fine.

var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if ( answer === 'JavaScript') {
  alert("You are correct");
}

Hi Gergo,

it seems that you are using .toUpperCase(), which is not part of the challenge's requirements. That is why it does not let you to continue to the next task. Sometimes you must strictly follow the challenge's details and approach it almost the same way as the instructor in the video.

Matthew's example is the solution to passing the step.

Cheers!

Well that's pretty strange. I only added the .toUpperCase() method after it hadn't accepted my answer (which had been the same as you suggested) stating that the user's answer might have been "javascript" or "JAVASCRIPT". Now it somehow accepted my first solution. Maybe they wanted to teach me how to ask other users in case I get lost.
