Not sure where to start on this challenge!

Does anyone know a good hint that will start me off on this? I'm more confused as to whether I'm visiting a basic JavaScript task because it doesn't look like jQuery.

First you need to select the element with the fullName ID, to select an element in jQuery you fellow this sintax:

//Select Input with the id of #fullName
$('#fullName');

Then you will need to put the value that the person will insert into the prompt (stored in the fullName variable) in the element with the fullName ID:

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