Have I done something wrong here? I have checked multiple times, I don't think I have?

I know the prior question requested .text() but I am sure that this one is asking for .html() I have added the span, I'm sure that this is correct, or have I made a silly mistake?

Please assist.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$(".profile-header") .html( "Student <span>Profile</span>");

Hey Nathan, I just realized you may were asking about a different part of this challenge than I originally gave an answer for. Just in case, I will mention that Treehouse is picky about capitalization with strings they ask you to use sometimes, so here is part 2 of that challenge:

$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer");

and part 3 you are actually just deleting-one-space away from having it correct.

$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer");
$(".profile-header").html("Student <span>Profile</span>");

Hope that helps!
