I don't know really how to get started with this problem.
//Show Prompt Window and store value
var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");
//Select Input with the id of #fullName
//Insert value in to full name input
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<body>
<label for="fullName">Full Name</label><input id="fullName" name="fullName" value="" disabled>

The abbreviated form of the JQuery call is just a dollar-sign ($), so your selector would look something like $("my_css_selector"). Remember the challenge asks you to Select Input with the id of #fullName (they even reminded you to use the # symbol for the ID).
The rest of it is to insert the value of fullName into the input field. The JQuery method to set an element's value is .val(desired_value).
I'm guessing you can take it from there and won't want an explicit spoiler.
