if(xhr.readyState === 4) {
convert string to js, store in var employees
var employees = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
generate ul w/html, store in var statusHTML
var statusHTML = "< ul class='bulleted' >";
for loop, employee list stored in employee
for (var i=0; i < employees.length; i += 1) {
condition
if (employees[i].inoffice === true) {
generate in class in
statusHTML += '< li class="in" >';
generate out class
} else {
statusHTML += '< li class="out" >';
statusHTML += '< /li >';
}
statusHTML += '' ;
document.getElementById('employeeList').innerHTML =
statusHTML;
}
};
