I'm completely confused as to what I'm being asked to do. I'm doing the best I can to follow the prompt, which is asking me to follow the prompts provided, but as far as I can tell, they are vague. Can someone please clarify what is being requested of me?
JavaScript: //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
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>

Let's have a look:
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.
In the index.html file we are targeting the input with an id of "fullName". We can target that using jQuery with:
$('#fullName')
Cool. Now we need to set it's value to the input we get from our input prompt. We can use the jQuery method val() for that and combining it with the above will get us where we need to be.
$('#fullName').val(fullName);
Post back if you are still stuck.
Happy coding,
Ken
