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.
//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>

Here's a few generic hints.
I agree that you should "give it your best try" before receiving explicit assistance, but here's a couple of hints that might help you get started:
- while the comments imply that the challenge requires two lines, it can easily be done with one
- when selecting an element by ID, remember to prefix a pound-sign (#) to the ID name
- a handy jQuery shortcut for getting or setting a value attribute is the val method
- if you're totally lost, you might find this video helpful: Selecting Page Elements with jQuery
The video mentioned above comes from the short Introduction to jQuery course, which you might also enjoy.

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I would prefer to see some code as a "good faith" attempt. This would allow us to see where exactly you're going wrong or what you haven't understood. I'm of the opinion that this will result in a better overall learning opportunity for you!
