Get "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." even though I haven't changed code from step one.

The code for Task 2 works in preview and the console.

app.js 
var  answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');

if(answer.toUpperCase() ==='JAVASCRIPT'){ 
  alert("You are correct");
}

Hey Jason,

Nice job on using the 'toUpperClass()' in most cases this is a nice feature have. Unfortunately, treehouse is asking for you to be case sensitive with the word "JavaScript", which won't require all upper case letters.

var  answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');

if(answer ==='JavaScript'){ 
  alert("You are correct");
}

Hope this helps!

Hello Timothy,

That worked perfectly. I guess I overworked the issue.

Thank you so much. That had me stuck for quite some time.
