Okay, their are definitely some things wrong with my code, I was trying to re-factor it, and it's really not working, can someone tell me the correct answer and explain everything I did wrong, there is a lot, I know. However, I would really appreciate it if someone took the time to help me.

A snapshot of your workspace would make it possible to replicate your environment (and would include the complete code, including the HTML part which is not shown here).

It would also be helpful if you describe "really not working" in a bit more detail.
