AJAX Basics - The Office Status Project Revisited

No obvious error .... working on Chrome browser :smile:

$(document).ready(function (){
$.getJSON('../data/employees.json', function (response){
  var statusHTML = '<ul class="bulleted">';//open ul
  $.each(response, function(index, employee){
    if(employee.inoffice === true){
      statusHTML += '<li class = "in">';//create in
    }
    else { 
            statusHTML += '<li class = "out">';//create out
    }//end if
            statusHTML += employee.name + '</li>'; 
  });//end each
       statusHTML += '</ul>';//close ul
        $('#employeeList').html = statusHTML;//update HTML
});//end JSON
});//end ready

There is the download link for the finished project. Are you doing it in the workspace because you cannot do it outside of the workspace. It's treehouse specific api request.
