I'm stuck on the objective where I have to select an "input" (<input> element?) and insert a value from another variable (can't look up which one right now, it's being blocked by this window, it's in the mobile drop down lesson). It doesn't feel like it uses the each() method we went over in the previous video, and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.
//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
<!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>

All you do for this challenge is set the value of an element. And you don't even need to refer to the HTML, since the comments tell you what the id of the element is. So if you know how to select an element using the id, and you know how to set the value of an element, you can actually do this challenge with one short line of code.
I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler.

20,885 PointsI show you both ways of doing, vanilla JS and JQuery
//Show Prompt Window and store value
var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");
//Select Input with the id of #fullName
$("#fullName").val(fullName);//this is the only line you need to pass this challenge, continued from above.
//vanilla JS way, just for your reference
//document.getElementByID("fullName").value = fullName;
//Insert value in to full name input

10,958 PointsThanks, both. I eventually figured it out. I was confused by the multiple lines of notes, causing me to think i had to break it up into 2 lines by storing in a variable or something.
