It asks to create a onreadystatechange, I did that and I'm not getting through.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
onreadystatechange = function(); { }
xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html');
xhr.send();
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<h1>AJAX!</h1>
</div>
<div id="sidebar"></div>
</body>
</html>

- you have a semicolon in the middle of the function definition. It needs to go at the end of the line.
- you forgot to prefix onreadystatechange with "
xhr.

xhr.onreadystatechange=function(){}
