As soon as I add the for loop to go to dynamically add the buttons to the existing list all the code below stops working

I have been following Guil's code through out this course and everything work great to the point where I add the for loop to create and append dynamically the buttons to the existing list items and then it stops working.

if anyone can take a look at my code and figure out what goes wrong this will be greatly appreciated.

there is a link to the codepen playground where I implemented the entire code from this course http://codepen.io/RonGootman/pen/bBjvPw?editors=1010

note that the for loop for attachListItemButtons(lis[i]); is currently commented out and everything works well but as soon as I uncomment it and have it in my code everything below stops functioning

It looks like your for loop has a problem. // for (let i = 0 ; 0 < lis.length ; i++) { // attachListItemButtons(lis[i]); // } should be for (let i = 0 ; i < lis.length ; i++)
