Javascript code not working.

Hello! I am trying to create a user search using indexof() and HTML forums but my JS does not seem to be working. when I try to display to user's info (Not real info), it does not show it or provide me with an error message.

Hopefully, you brilliant people can help!

There seem to be a few issues, including:

  • the HTML calls "SearchInfo()" (capital "S"), but the function is "searchInfo" (little "s")
  • in the function, "getSearchPrint" is called with an argument of "student", but nothing by that name is defined
  • "getSearchPrint" performs this curious test: "if (user.name === user[i].name)"
  • while searching for the right user, "searchInfo" prints the "No user" message for every _other_user

There may be a few more, but that should get you started.
