Problem 1 (8 points): determine the winner using a function

Write a JavaScript program to determine the winner of an election. The page must have a form to enter names of two candidates and their corresponding votes. When the button is clicked, display the winner and the number of votes in the text area.

Below is the starting point for the problem. Save it to a file and add the missing elements (the form elements and the rest of the function). Note that since the form gives you strings, not numbers, you need to use parseFloat as shown below to use the form data as numbers.

And the winner is...

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function determineTheWinner() {
    v1 = parseFloat(document.theform.votes1.value);
    // add the rest of the function here
}

</script>

<body>
<h1>And the winner is...</h1>
<p>Please enter names of two people and how many votes each person got.</p>  
<p>

<form name="theform">
The first candidate: 

<input type="text" name="first" size=10 value="Bart Simpson" /><br />
The first number of votes: 
<input type="text" name="votes1" size=10 value="0" /><br />
<br />
<input type="button" value="Click me" 
       onClick="determineTheWinner();" />

</form>
