How do I convert a number read into asterisks and then display the amount of asterisks in a HTML table?

Start with the following and build your table however you wish:

  a=prompt('?',0);
  b='';
&nbsp;&nbsp;for (i=1; i<=a; i++) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b=b+'*';
&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;alert(b);

a=prompt('?',0);
b='';
for (i=1; i<=a.length ; i++) {
b+='*';
}
alert(b);



A typo?

Nope. The request was to start with a number, so I care about the value of that number rather than its length.

Ok, but I think it's better that you use parseInt() or RegExp that you check if it's a number entered, huh?
