Hello I'm getting prompted "Oops It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing" when the answer is correct. When I get to the 2nd task and submit I will receive the same prompt where I'm unable to complete the task.

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
username = "#" + lastname.toUpperCase();
index.html
