"It says a prompt dialog will open. use Jquery to follow comments. Select correct input, set value to fullName."
These instructions seem incomplete to me. I don't know what I'm being asked for.
//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
<!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>

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsSounds like theyre asking you to create a pop-up dialog box & have the user enter comments. Then use Jquery to sort through the comments looking for a name possibly (maybe you have to search each word to a database to see if it matches?) Then it wants you to store the name in fullname field. Yes, it is not very clear at all!

21,978 PointsSo what we want here is to insert the fullName variable into the "value" field in the HTML using JQuery. So, we're going to call the following:
$("#fullName").attr("value", fullName);
