3,609 PointsFinished project files aren't working for me
The employee list is not appearing for me, even when I use the finished project files. I get the following console error message:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'inoffice' of undefined at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onreadystatechange (widget.js:7)
Does anyone have any advice? My full code looks like this:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
var employees = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
var statusHTML = '<ul class="bulleted">';
for (var i=0; employees.length; i++) {
if (employees[i].inoffice === true) {
statusHTML += '<li class="in">';
} else {
statusHTML += '<li class="out">';
}
statusHTML += employees[i].name;
statusHTML += '</li>';
}
statusHTML += '</ul>';
document.getElementById('employeeList').innerHTML = statusHTML;
}
};
xhr.open("GET", "data/employees.json");
xhr.send();

3,609 PointsNever mind, I found the problem myself – a missing "i <" in my for loop syntax. D'oh!
I'm glad to have gotten the tip about how to make a snapshot of the workspace, though – I hadn't known that. Thanks Steven!
