Random quote machine - Tweet issue

1

Hi everyone,

I’ve got my quote machine producing quotes, but for some reason when I hit the twitter button, twitter opens to tweet, but the box doesn’t populate with my quote. Could someone take a look? Thank you!!!

here’s my button -

 <button onclick="newQuote()">New Quote</button>

this is the code for my twitter function:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('#twitter').on("click", function () {
    var tweetQuote = $('quotes').text();
    if (tweetQuote.length > 140) {
      alert("Too many characters!")
      }
      var twitterURL = 'https://twitter.com/home?status=' +encodeURIComponent(tweetQuote);
      window.open(twitterURL, '_blank');
  })
}); //end ready

Thanks!!

thank you for your help!! I was able to figure it out and now it works. I have a little clean up to do, but it is working!
