My teacher showed me, but I forgot and cant find what it is called or how to solve it.
CODE function get_name(name) { // test to make sure it is a string that isn't empty // test to make sure that it is at least 3 characters long // test to make sure that it is either Paul, John or Bob and no one else alert("Hi " + name); } How can I tell it what name is? and it would be mice if someone could tell me how to tell it the name too. Something like: CODE var name = prompt("What is your name?",""); This is javascript btw. Not php. I keep getting confused too... I have watched all the lynda.com javascript tutorials and all the w3schools.com javascript tutorials and for some reason I cant solve this. Thanks. |

O. I thought it did... haha.
CODE <html> <head> <title>Script</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="names.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function get_name() </script> </head> <body> Hello World! </body> </html> Am i doing it right? They never taught me how to do this on w3schools or lynda.com. I need to look for practical javascript tutorials. |

You probably want to do it on page load, like this: CODE <!-- header stuff -->
<body onload='get_name("Bob");'> |
