My employee status is showing up after all the paragraph text, instead of on the right hand sidebar. Any ideas??

7,468 PointsI have added the js code. Which I copied exactly from the lesson. I do not see any differences.

Michelle Hart
7,468 PointsThat was exactly the issue. Thank you, I did not even consider the responsiveness.

The id of the html element that the generated html should be injected into, should be addressed like this in your code:
document.getElementById('employeeList').innerHTML = statusHTML;
employeeList is the html element's id in this challenge.

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 getJSON
}); //end ready

5,673 PointsHm your jQuery Code is fine. I can't see any mistakes.
Must be something in your html then. Did you change something in the html file?
