Assignment 3: Scripts in Documents: Part 2

Use a Javascript script element in the body of your documents to perform the following tasks:
  1. [2 pts] Create a page that asks the user for their name and their favorite color and displays them in the body of the page.
  2. [2 pts] Extend your previous script so that the favorite color is displayed in that color. You may assume that the color is one of the predefined CSS color names.
  3. [2 pts] Create a page that (a) asks the user for their favorite flavor of ice cream; (b) uses the answer in a followup question; and (c) and displays the answer to that second question.

Don't forget that document.write and document.writeln add HTML code to the document source (at the point where the script element appears). So first think what the HTML should look like. That is, what it would be if you were writing a static page. Then get your script to produce that HTML using document.write and document.writeln. And then use window.prompt and variables to get the dynamic parts into the HTML that you're adding to the document.

And don't forget: don't use document.writeln if the HTML you are producing with that statement can't have a newline in it! If you want to play it safe, you can always use document.write and then if you want a newline you use the "\n" (backslash n) escape sequence to include a newline in a string literal (See textbook, Section 6.3, page 192). You can also use spaces in your string literals, of course, where they are appropriate for the HTML you are producing.
