AJAX office status project revisited- code not working in firefox

Everything seems correct on my end but the list isn't showing up. Im using firefox

below is my code...

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

statusHTML +="<li class="in">";

This line also has problem. It should be:

statusHTML +='<li class="in">';
