<p>I'm new to javascript and need some help! I want to make a magic 8-ball script that pulls a specific answer for certain questions. So far I have it so that if I ask a specific question, it will give me one answer, but I want to alter it so that it will give me a specific answer based on whether or not the question uses 'who' or 'what' or if a question uses an 'a' 'd' and 'b' and things like that. Does anyone know how to do this and could you possibly help me? I'm completely stuck and don't know how to go about this. Thank you for your help!</p> <pre><code> <script> function eightBall() { var answer = document.getElementById("answerBox").value; var images = ['answerYes.png', 'answerNo.png', 'answerAskLater.png', 'answerNotL.png', 'answerMaybe.png']; if (answer.search(/Will I be rich?/) > -1) { var askLater = '../images/answerAskLater.png' document.getElementById('eightTemplate').src = askLater; } else if (answer.search(/Will I be happy?/) > -1) { var no = '../images/answerNo.png' document.getElementById('eightTemplate').src = no; } else if (answer.search(/Will I live to be 90 years old?/) > -1) { var yes = '../images/answerYes.png' document.getElementById('eightTemplate').src = yes; } else if (answer.search(/Will I be married later in life?/) > -1) { var notLikely = '../images/answerNotL.png' document.getElementById('eightTemplate').src = notLikely; } else if (answer.search(/Can I have a puppy?/) > -1) { var maybe = '../images/answerMaybe.png' document.getElementById('eightTemplate').src = maybe; } } </script> </code></pre>

1. COPerhaps reading through a [list of `String` methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/prototype#Methods) would give you some ideas?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
