Can't get the prompt (for student) loop functioning properly

(1) This is my first question, so please be gentle when reprimanding me if I need to express my question in a better way (I've been historically pummeled on Stack Overflow).

(2) I'm including all my "search" code below in anticipation of a possible "can I see the code?"

(3) I was able to get the student details to print without using a loop. In other words, with the "1 prompt and out" approach, I could enter a name and print the details for that one student. This worked perfectly, as far as I could tell.

(4) Incorporating that prompt into a loop is a different matter. What I tried to do was prompt the user for a name, print the details to the screen for that student, prompt the student for another name, print the details to the screen for that second student, and so on, until "quit" is entered.

(5) I'm experiencing something other than what I expected. I prompt for a student name, but then the prompt appears again, asking for another student name. Then the prompt appears again, asking for another student name. When I finally "quit", the screen displays the details for those three students that I selected consecutively, as if it were in some queue.

(6) I tried a few things, but can't get the details for a specified student to appear immediately after entering the name in the prompt box.

I'm just looking for ideas at this point, thanks.

*** Code ****

var message = ''; var student; var answer;

function print(message) { var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output'); outputDiv.innerHTML = message; }

function searchForStudent(answer) { for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) { student = students[i]; if (student.name === answer) { message += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>'; message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>'; message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>'; message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>'; return message; } }
}

answer = prompt("Enter name of student");

while (answer !== "quit") { message = searchForStudent(answer); print(message); answer = prompt("Enter name of student"); }
