Question

I have this code. How do I set a different CSS style on each of the outcomes – correct & incorrect.

The CSS styles are wordglow1 and wordglow2…

$(".drop").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui) {
    word = $(this).data('word');

    guesses[word].push($(ui.draggable).attr('data-letter'));

    console.log(guesses);

    if (guesses[word].length == 3) {
        if (guesses[word].join('') == word) {
            alert('Correct');
        } else {
            alert(guesses[word].join('') + ' is the incorrect spelling. The word is spelt - ' + word)
        }

        $('td[data-word=' + word + ']').droppable('disable');
        }
    }
});

These are the class’s I need to assign to the conditions…

<div id="rightanswer" class="wordglow2"></div>
<div id="wronganswer" class="wordglow"></div>

.addClass is your friend

$(".drop").droppable({
    drop: function(event, ui) {
    word = $(this).data('word');

    guesses[word].push($(ui.draggable).attr('data-letter'));

    console.log(guesses);

    if (guesses[word].length == 3) {
        if (guesses[word].join('') == word) {
            $(selector).addClass('corrent');
            alert('Correct');
        } else {
            alert('Incorrect');
            $(selector).addClass('wrong spelling')
       }

            $('td[data-word=' + word + ']').droppable('disable');
            }    
        }
    });
