HTML hasn't been played with yet, just a basic set up.
I have been playing with various API's to help solidify the courses presented here. I am working with the Flickr API still but, I am trying to take a word and present it using just photos. For example if you type in the word "cat" it will show a picture that is the letter C, one that is the letter A and then the letter T.
I have the code working in the console but, to a point. If I paste in all but the last two lines, everything works like it should. I then can paste the last two lines in
placedWord = (finalWord).join('');
$('#wordHere').html(placedWord);
and it will do it's thing and work.
However, if I paste all the code, the last two lines get ignored. I tried using an IIFE function as I saw suggested elsewhere. It didn't change anything so at this point I left it in but, will likely just remove it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I just can't figure out what it is I am missing.
