The answer is correct, but the check would not go through. It keeps saying that the first task has stopped passing

When adding a second line for the task2 code.

When adding the code instead in script tags in the HTML, it also fails, even though it's a valid solution.

scripts.js 
var answer;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
  <script>answer = prompt("What day is it");</script>
</body>
</html>

This is what Task 2 is looking for.

var answer;
answer = prompt('What day is it?');

How does your code differ?
