i'm brand new to html and coding and i've been working on my site for a few days now. one thing i'm trying to include is a button that randomly selects a prompt for writing/art/etc. from a database i've compiled over the years.

i have a functioning button using this code (hence why some of the fields say "songs"), but anything i've tried to customize it doesn't seem to affect it at all. i don't care too much about the appearance aside from that i would like the output text box to be able to be bigger so that the prompt doesn't get cut short if it's a longer one (like in the first photo). the only things from that script code i've changed are the possible outcomes, and i've given the button the div id "promptGen." i don't really understand how the script works so i've been unsure how to edit any of the other values and still retain the usability of the button.

is there something in the code that's overriding my ability to edit the button in css? or are there certain attributes that can't be changed due to the build of the script?

i would appreciate any and all advice, thank you for reading!

EDIT: i seem to have gotten the basic css to work! i can change background colors, fonts, etc. but i still am unsure how to change that output bar size.

Platform(s): PC

Genre: kids educational, adventure, puzzle solving, story-driven but i have no clue what the plot could’ve been

Estimated year of release: probably between like 1997 and 2002ish

Graphics/art style: simple 2d animation, similar to the humongous games - puttputt, pajama sam, freddi fish, etc. it very well may have even been one of these titles as i had a few of these games growing up.

Notable characters: amongst the various characters you meet while passing through the different zones, i distinctly remember a family of beavers. you click to enter their house by going underwater and your character will swim up into the entrance of their home. once you load inside, you see a mama beaver on the phone. two kid beavers come inside from the water, and the mom puts her hand over the receiver and turns to the kids to say "don't forget to wipe your feet!" these weren’t major characters iirc, just some of the many you could come across.

Notable gameplay mechanics: point-and-click gameplay style, certain areas had characters who ran puzzles or minigames. you travel through different zones and see various characters, i think they were all talking animals. one zone might have been a carnival or a circus, but i could be misremembering that one.

Other details: i feel like i also remember a minigame that may have taken place in a rainforest-like zone, and it was maybe about stacking things in a pyramid shape? or like solving math problems in a pyramid-shaped order. the only other thing i think i remember was that there was an area with a long stretch of desert that you can drive/walk through (again i don't remember who the character was, it might've been puttputt or someone who drives a car but could've also just been walking). i remember it was nighttime in this desert and i always thought it was neat.

thanks for reading, i’d love to know what this game was if you have any suggestions ^^

how can I customize this button
