Help? Not sure if this is possible. Coding help?
« on: January 11, 2019, 01:09 PM »
Hello! Very much a novice here (only know HTML/CSS) - I'm wondering if the following is possible.

On web page... User types in one of two words and depending on the word, the corresponding image gets bigger.
For example there's an image of a steak and stake. Depending on the word typed in, either image gets X amount bigger (for the sake of it lets just say 5% bigger).

Is this doable?

It's absolutely doable and fairly easy with javascript.

Is it possible to freelance someone to do it for me in the next 24 hours? I presume thats a pretty unreasonable request but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask!

It's something that someone familiar with js or curious would be able to do in an hour as an exercise, the only issue is if we can find one of our js coders awake and here on the weekend to enjoy the puzzle of doing it.  I'll ask on our chat channel.

What you could do to help get things started is make the page in html/css that is as simple and clean html as you can, that shows what you want to show with the input etc where you want it. 
Then the coder can just modify it and add javascript to do what you are asking, without having to guess what you want the page to look like.
