There is an detailed answer guide in the back of the book, but the only difference I see between his code and my code is the name of the variables used. Thanks a lot for any information, chances are this is just some stupid mistake.
Firefox wouldn't even let me change the variable in the prompt box since you predefined it, although IE would. These are the types of reasons why I try to stay away from Javascript...
