JavaScript Help anyone?

These links should help you:

http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/dom_using.asp (Working with elements like text and the background)

http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp (Make sure text in box is hex)

http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_events.asp (Button for changing color)

When in doubt, Google it!

I know where you're coming from...I'm also in 101. I stayed up last night until 2:00 am and finished that project, so I'll try and give you a few tips. I was also completely stumped, but I went to a few resources online that really helped.

This is one of Granier's examples:

Try looking at the source for this one. It really helped me figure out how to get organized as far as declaring functions and variables. The code for the finished project is somewhat similar to this, but you have to incorporate the "input" text boxes rather than a drop-down list.

For the second part of the project (the random quote part), see if this page will help...

I was completely lost until I found this, and it's pretty clear and easy to follow.

Hopefully this helps, it's hard to give advice on a project that I've already finished without just spewing answers!

Good luck!

I've worked in IT for ~12 years and I'm quite happy to provide some guidance and perform code reviews for anyone who is struggling.  I won't do the work for you, but I can definitely point you in the right direction, help you squash bugs and show you good coding techniques.

PM me and I'll send you my personal email address. 

Alright so i am working on it a bit.

Well, i thought i got the 2nd part of the project down with the random quotes, but i worked on it and no matter what i seem to do, it shows the random quote, but it always says 'undefined' right after it. Whats up with that?

I have everything declared, i think but nothing shows up when i try to look at it in an internet browser. i know it means i messed up somewhere....but where?

x.x This is so frustrating.

Sarah,

Send the assignment and you're work so far to my email.  You can use either my private or school email, I think you have both.  I'm going to be leaving work shortly, but I'll be working on chapter six accounting this evening and will be checking email.

Oh, i just sent it now. x.x

Hope it isn't too late. However, the randomize part is all debugged and lovely.
