I don't expect someone to do my classwork for me! I would like some help because I don't know where i'm going wrong.This code has been adapted from my previous weeks homework and what it is supposed to do is: Modify the prototype form page so that when the Javascript function has verified that all of the required fields have been filled, a cookie is added to the user's computer. If the same user attempts to fill out the form a second time, the user will be directed to a separate HTML page advising them that they have already submitted the form.
Code:
