jquery not working

I am stuck! :) Please help when possible??

Challenge Task 1 of 1

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 it's value to the fullName.

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

//Select Input with the id of #fullName var $select = $("<select></select>"); $("#fullName").append($select); //Insert value in to full name input

$("#fullName").each(function() { var $anchor = $(this); var $option = $("<option></option>");

$option.val($anchor.attr("")); $option.text($anchor.text()); $select.append($option);

ERROR MESSAGE: Bummer! If I typed "Andrew Chalkley" into the prompt, it didn't appear in the input!

var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");

$("#fullName").val(fullName); //Insert value in to full name input

The first part selects the ID fullName, the second part .val() is a setter in this case. It is setting the value of the fullName from the earlier prompt.

<input id="fullName" name="fullName" value="" disabled>

will become

<input id="fullName" name="fullName" value="INFO WILL BE HERE" disabled>
