Javascript Mental Jumpstart : <p>I need some help on a assignment for school, and I'm kinda stuck. This question defines the ones following and I need a mental "jumpstart;" I can't seem to remember what to do to begin.</p>

<pre><code>function get_longest_word(){
 //Task 1, complete this function to find the longest word
 //from the text entered into the textarea.
 //Once the longest word is found display the longest word in an alert.
 //Hint use the split(" ") method to split the string into an array of words.
 var str = document.getElementById('input_text').value;//str is the string from the input text area
 var longest_word = "not yet implementd";
 alert(longest_word);
</code></pre>
