Javascript Basics: Conditional statements

I'm on "Challenge Task 2" and I can't figure out what's going on here. When I test this out it seems to work, but I'm being told it's wrong.

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

if (answer === 'javascript') {
  alert('You are correct');
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
