But I don't think your inner loop is properly formed. And if I understand what you're intending to do here, you probably meant to write something like this:
for (x = 0; x < students.length; x += 1) {
for (var name in students[x]) {
message += name + ": " + students[x][name] + "<br>";
}
message += "<br>";
}
Also, since you want to append to it, when you declare message you should initialize it with an empty string.

229,732 PointsYou must have overlooked my hint about initializing message when you declare it:
var message = "";
