What am I doing wrong?

I put <html> under the <!DOCTYPE html> and for some stranger reason I am wrong. Why is that?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

Youngchul Kim is correct. You need a closing html element, so you need to add a </html>. :)

I would also add opening html tag:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

</html>

Hope this helps!
