A prompt dialog will open prompting for someone's full name. Use jQuery to follow the comments in code. First, select the correct input, and then set its value to the fullName.
Bummer! If I typed "Andrew Chalkley" into the prompt, it didn't appear in the input!
/Show Prompt Window and store value var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");
//Select Input with the id of #fullName $("#fullName") //Insert value in to full name input $("#fullName").val("fullName");
//Show Prompt Window and store value
var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");
//Select Input with the id of #fullName
$("#fullName")
//Insert value in to full name input
$("#fullName").val("fullName");

$("#fullName").val(fullName);
If it's in quotes, you're setting the value to be the string "fullName", where you actually want to reference the value of the variable name fullName.
