What am I missing?

I complete 'Task 1' with a PASS, then I move complete 'Task 2' and it fails me due to 'Task 1' no longer being correct. What am I missing? Please help!

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

var userName 

  userName = id.toUpperCase();
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="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

I can't explain the message, but it doesn't look like you added any code yet for task 2.

When I paste the code above into the challenge, it passes task 1 and then for task 2 says "Bummer! Are you using the + operator to combine the variables?"
