JavaScript jQuery Basics (2014) Creating a Mobile Drop Down Menu Setting a value

Im unsure which of the previous example code to implement in the somewhat vague instructions.

The prompt part is difficult to know what to do with (its native javascript) when the example is asking for jQuery solutions....

js/app.js
//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
index.html
<!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>

Those comments are maybe not the best way to describe the answer it's looking for. Try it like this...

//Show Prompt Window and store value
var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");

// Select the input element with the id of #fullName, then set the value to be equal to the prompt.
// CODE HERE

That should be a bit clearer, but let me know if you still have questions. Happy coding! :)
