2,660 PointsHow do you set the value in the last part of this?
This is what I came up with: $("#fullName").val("fullName"); Do I need a function?
//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>
</head>
<body>
<label for="fullName">Full Name</label><input id="fullName" name="fullName" value="" disabled>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

20,629 PointsYou use the attr() method to get or set an attribute.
.attr( attributeName, value )
So you are close, you need to give the attr the attribute you are setting which is value and then the value to set it to which is what is stored in fullName.
$("#fullName").attr("value", fullName);
