Answer 1

var name = prompt('Input a name:',).toLowerCase ();

document.write('<p id="holder"></p>');
var holder = document.getElementById('holder');

var found = '';
var nameIndex=0;
var letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

var i=0;

var loop=setInterval(function(){
holder.innerHTML=found+letters[i];
if(letters[i++]===name[nameIndex]){
found+=letters[--i];
i=0;
nameIndex++;
if(name===found)clearInterval(loop);
}
},200);

Answer 2

Roel I'm more than happy to help you anytime you want help. So you want one line with the first character changing until it finds the right character then the the next character starts searching?

Answer 3

var name = prompt('Input a name:',).toLowerCase ();
var found = '';
var nameIndex=0;
var letters="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
for(var i=0;i<letters.length;i++){
document.write(found+letters[i]+'<BR>')
if(letters[i]===name[nameIndex]){
found+=letters[i];
i=-1;
nameIndex++;
if(found===name)break;
}
}

Roel If you want to collaborate and work on a project together then just let me know. I'm fairly busy thou and I'll probably frustrate you because I will make you fix your mistakes but I think it would be fun... for me at least. :)

Answer 5

Roel Sorry its a bit messy but I didn't have any context to work with else I would make it a bit more dynamic. If you nee help understanding parts or why I did something just ask me.

Answer 9

yes (if its possible and not too much asked of you)

Answer 10

Nommer101 sounds fun, I'll let you know, the only problem is that I'm not sure if I can come up with some project, but I can try start one, and I'll let you know when I will start

Answer 11

Nommer101 the problem is not that I don't understand it, the problem is that I can't come up with codes like that
