I resolved the issue just now, If you check my code above you will find out that I forgot to close the parentheses for the getJSON function like this: }); // end getJSON This was the only issue!

Thanks for the reply.

You forgot to add the <li> and </li> tags between the employee names.

Should be like this:

var statusHTML = "<ul class='bulleted'>";
    $.each(response, function (index,employee) {
      if(employee.inoffice){
        statusHTML += '<li class="in">'
      }
      else{
        statusHTML += '<li class="out">'
      }

      statusHTML += employee.name + '</li>'
      });   // end each
      statusHTML += "</ul>"
