Project Description:
1. Wrote an original fairytale (approximately 2-3 paragraphs), underlining the words listed below. The fairytale included the following components (these are the words that will be replaced by the Mad Libs program):
a. The name of the hero – include this name at least 3 times in the story.
b. The name of the villain – included this name at least 3 times in the story.
c. A place.
d. A food.
e. An action verb (ex. runs, jumped, ate, lifts, etc.).
f. An adverb (ex. quickly, loudly, bravely, etc.).
g. Two adjectives (ex. large, ferocious, cute, friendly, etc.).
2. Created a form that included the following elements for the user to input information:
a. A textbox for the hero’s name.
b. A textbox for the villain’s name.
c. A textbox for a place.
d. A textbox for a food.
e. A select box that includes 4 different choices of action verbs.
f. A textbox for an adverb.
g. A textbox for each adjective (two textboxes total).
a. The name of the hero – include this name at least 3 times in the story.

g. A textbox for each adjective (two textboxes total).
3. Included two custom buttons: one to generate the new story with the replaced words and show it somewhere on the page, and one to show the original story with the original words to show on the same place on the page.
4. Included a rollover effect on the custom buttons.
5. Used an external style sheet to do all styling on the pages.
6. Used an output variable.
7. Made the replacement words a different size and color so they stand out from the rest of the story.
8. Wrote high quality code, including consistent formatting, indenting, and descriptive variable names.
Tools:
HTML and CSS.
