I'm having huge difficulties producing a script for this:
Write a javascript programme that will prompt for, and accept from the user, an input string which contains at least 8 characters. It should then prompt for and accept a numerical value that is no greater than the length of the input string and should output a version of the input string which takes the form of a string of the same length as the input string but consisting entirely of the letter which occurs in the input string at the position specified by the input number.
Been trying for days and just can't get it!!! ((
this is what i have so far.....

if (myString.length < 8)

alert("Please re-enter a Word with more than 8 Characters !") // tempory alert
getStringInput()
return
}
alert("Now enter a number that is smaller than the amount of letters in your inputed word" ) // tempory alert
getNumber()
}
function getNumber()
{
myNumber = window.prompt('Enter Your Number !','');
if(!myNumber){
return
}
if (count.myNumber > mystring.length)
window.prompt('The Number must be smaller than you inputed letters in Your word');
showResults()
