Not so much a discussion, as a factoid, but it's <doctype !html> not <!DOCTYPE html>, in the latest version of HTML (HTML5) also worth bearing in mind is that even for xhtml lowercase tag names were the norm, thoughts?

Treehouse TeacherJust wanted to follow up: This issue has been fixed in the code challenge. It's now case insensitive.

74,902 PointsOkay, so why does the tutorial force to be answered as <!DOCTYPE html> is my point, it's just being case sensitive for no point, even google use lowercase
Tom Bedford
15,645 PointsThe Treehouse site actually has it it in lowercase too. I can't speak for the challenge logic, I imagine it's just an oversight.
Nick Pettit
Treehouse TeacherThat's really strange; in fact, I'm surprised we're doing any kind of case-sensitive checking. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll make sure it gets fixed!

74,902 PointsThanks guys one of my staff got stuck too since I'm pretty dogmatic about all html tags being lowercase, I'm just going through things reviewing the content and tracks I believe can accelerate them the best
