13,249 PointsMy search wont run properly.. I type in a name and the search prompt doesn't show again and no data shows up either..
var message = ' ';
var student;
var search;
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
function getStudentReport (student) {
var report = '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>';
report += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
report += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>';
report += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
return report;
}
while (true) {
var search = prompt("Search Student records type a name [Jody] ( or type 'quit' to end");
if ( search === nul || search.toLowerCase() === "quit"){
break;
}
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
student = students[i];
if (student.name === search){
message = getStudentReport(student);
print(message);
}
}
}
student_report.js
I have made sure both the report file and the student data file is linked as a script in the index.html file too..

11,114 PointsYou have defined 2 variables with the name 'search'. Removing the var within the while loop should fix the problem. Also nul should be null
