im positive im doing this correctly but im being told im wrong. can you check this for me?

its telling me it cant find the alert message box but whenever i hit recheck work the message box pops up sayin "Welcome Student". so i guess really my question is what am i missing?

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome Student')
}

The challenge states the following:

Add an else if clause that tests to see if the isStudent variable is true.
If it is then open an alert dialog with the message 'Welcome student'.

Clue: That "student" looks different than your "Student." ;)

You got this, Kevin! :)
