Task 2 problem

Task 2, I type <html> as the document root. It rejects that, says "Make sure you define the HTML tag for the document root." What am I doing wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

Hey there! The problem is you haven't close the html tag, it is good to close everything you open.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
</html>
