Can you at least try? The Community isn't for asking for answers :)

The Community is for asking questions about learning, and asking for help on code you've already written.

I hope you understand. ~Alex

Also, if you can't solve a challenge, re-watching videos always help.

Can you show me your real code?

I believe your question up on the top of this website doesn't have your code.

i tried some different code alternatives. and deleted after both didnt passed.

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

//Select Input with the id of #fullName $fullName.append("fullName"); //Insert value in to full name input $fullName.val("input");

2- $fullName.val("input");

3- $selected.append("fullName"); $fullName.val("input");

If you're trying to select the variable's jquery object, you use the format $(target).method(input). So for instance, you have

#fullName $fullName.append("fullName"

But this doesn't fit the general formula. You're probably looking for something like this:

$(#fullname).append(fullName)

So to break that down, $ loads the jquery version, (#fullname) is the targetted object to modify with append() or val() or whatever. What goes inside those methods will be the input or new data, such as the data stored in your fullName variable.
