An Example of a Web Page that asks the user for input and then produces some output
<h1>Printing "Happy Birthday, NAME INPUT" 8 Times</h1>
<div id="output"></div> <!-- This is where we will display the output we create below -->
//Javascript has to go in a special script section.
<script>
// Prompt the user for their name
let name = prompt("What is your name?") ;
//We will this variable later.
let how_many=8;
function new_line(){
// Select the output div
let outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
// Print Happy Birthday 8 times
for (let i = 1; i <= how_many; i++) {
outputDiv.innerHTML += "Happy Birthday, "+ name +"!<br>" ;
}
//Add some blank lines
outputDiv.innerHTML += " <br><br><br><br><br>" ;
} //End of function is here
//Run the function and print happy birthday 8 times.
new_line();
// Prompt the user for a number of additional times to repeat happy birthday." how_many" is already declared, so no "let" is needed or allowed;
how_many = prompt("How many times would you like to see that?") ;
//Run the function again, after a .4 second delay.
let timer = setTimeout(new_line, 400);
</script>
