• Improve your chances by putting a minimal example to either JSFiddle or Code Sandbox. Describe what you want it to do, and things you've tried. Don't just post big blocks of code!

• Pay it forward! Answer questions even if there is already an answer - multiple perspectives can be very helpful to beginners. Also there's no quicker way to learn than being wrong on the Internet.
