We're actually going to start with a non-beginner level challenge because Ryan, one of the Halifax members, has a real life situation where the solution would help him out
What we are trying to accomplish is to write a chrome extension that sends an alert when the dropdown is set to something other than ready for more than 3 minutes
In Ryan's environment calls are routed through an intranet and you don't get new calls unless your status is ready. Forgetting to go back to a ready status is a common issue for some users.
For the sake of the excercise I have labeled the drop down select element with an ID of "queueStatus"
There are always several ways to accomplish a certain task and if yours works, that's awesome! Feel free to share your solutions on the Free Code Camp Halifax Facebook page where the link to this web page was posted.
In the coming weeks, I will expand this webpage and pretty it up with some css. We plan on meeting at the Halifax Central Library every 2 weeks for discussions on code and we will have a Google Meeting going for those who can't attend physically but would like to still get involved. For the first 2 weeks I will post the challenge and in the next 2 weeks I will post possible solutions and interesting inputs from other Halifax FCC members.
*** I originally had a space in the ID name which is a no-no, my apologies
