Question

Hey guys,
I have this great scripts someone on stack overflow helped me out with, except the one major function I need is missing.

This is a game where the user picks a number (by entering that number in a text field) then hits a play button. After they hit the play button a series of numbers will appear, they then have to click on the number that matches their number.

The query script I’m using counts how many times they hit the number and how many times they missed the number. Take a look at the script in action here. link text

now what I need it to do, is send the score (hits and misses ) to a database after 3 misses, so I can keep high score. Any ideas? Here’s the script.

var hitCount = 0,
missCount = 0;

function IsNumeric(n) {
return !isNaN(n);
}

$("#getit").click(function() {
var li = [],
    intervals = 0,
    n = parseInt($('#MyNumber').val());

if (IsNumeric(n)) {
    setInterval(function() {
        li[intervals++ % li.length].text(Math.random() > .1 ? Math.floor(Math.random()        * (10 + n) + (n / 2)) : n).attr('class', '');
    }, <?php echo $time ?>);
}

$('#randomnumber').empty();

for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    li.push($('<li />').click(function() {
        var $this = $(this);

        if (!$this.hasClass('clicked')) {
            if (parseInt($this.text(), 10) === n) {
                $this.addClass('correct');
                $('#hitcount').text(++hitCount);
            } else {
                $this.addClass('wrong');
                $('#misscount').text(++missCount);
            }
        }

        $this.addClass('clicked');
    }).appendTo('#randomnumber'));
}

return false;
});

I updated your fiddle with the solution. Check http://jsfiddle.net/DHPQT/2/.

I marked all the new stuff with a comment in the form of

//new ....

The main thing to do is checking after

$('#misscount').text(++missCount);

if missCount is 3 and if yes stop the game and send something
