You haven't specified what the problem is (in this post at least). The above code seems to pass the first part of the challenge and requires a simple change to pass the second. If you're having technical difficulty or a challenge is misbehaving (giving you a nonsensical message, or only works in one browser but not another *), you can email tree house at help@teamtreehouse.com (this is what the support page recommends). The staff do check out the forums. sometimes at least.
