Using the native JavaScript forEach seems simpler than jQuery's each, because we don't need to specify the index. What do you guys think?
Example:
response.forEach(function (employee) {
if (employee.inoffice === true) {
statusHtml += '<li class="in">';
} else {
statusHtml += '<li class="out">';
}
statusHtml += employee.name + '</li>';
});

So only for arrays do you have an optionbetween two of them, and only if you have jQuery loaded.
And in ".forEach" the index argument is optional, and in ".each" and "$.each" it can simply be ignored.
