20,118 PointsPossible error with wmuSlider code challenge
In Responsive Slider Plugin code challenge, there seems to be an error in the validation.
the first task 1/4, we are asked to include jquery.wmuslider
The only acceptable spelling that satisfied the task is to spell it out in all lower case, as "wmuslider"
The class is named "wmuSlider" with a capital "S", and when we are asked in 4/4 to call wmuslider on wmuSlider class, the only code that satisfies the challenge is:
$(".wmuSlider").wmuSlider(options);
To me it seems like this is an error. Because we included this at src="jquery.wmuslider.js", shouldn't the call be made like this:
$("".wmuSlider").wmuslider(options);
without the capital "S" in the call? Am I missing something, or is this just an error in how the challenge is validating?

You are calling the function wmuSlider. The file name can be called anything, it doesn't change the name of the function inside the file though.
Treehouse doesn't show you the code inside the jquery.wmuslider.js file you link to, but if you actually look at the code on github you can see the function is named wmuSlider, which is why it you have to capitalize the S when you call it.
