Courses Plus Student 6,766 PointsMy code sort of works =) how would you improve it?
var search = prompt('Search by student name');
var message = '';
var student;
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
student = students[i];
message += '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
message += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
message += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
message += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
if(search == student.name) {
print(message);
} else if (search != student.name) {
var search = prompt('Student record does not exist. Please try a different name');
} else if (search == 'Quit') {
break;
}
}

Instead of using the prompt pop-up for the input, you could have a text field and a "search" button on a form.
