Yeah, I'm having the same problem. There seem to be a couple other people on different threads experiencing the same thing. I talked to customer support, but nothing doing so far. Let us know if it starts working again. I've already restarted my browser, deleted history/cache and rebooted. Who knows...

Restart your browser or test your connection, I don't think that issue comes from your code.

Odd — it works fine for me.

This is for task 1, and you've just added one line so far, right? I pasted your code directly into the challenge and it passed ("Well done! You're doing great!").
