New print method question

https://w.trhou.se/s74tg3i1kk

Okay I'm not sure if I post the workspace correctly. But, when I use the new elementById method I'm having troubles.

First, I put outside the functions and such after the print(html);. This made the program print the last statement. Then I put it in the functions and it prints them all, but they disappear and show the number of questions correct. What can I do to make it display them all simultaneously. Also, what can I do the make the unordered list work correctly.

Your print function replaces the output each time you call it.

It sounds like you want it to add to the output instead. For that, use the concatenating assignment operator:

  var outputDiv += document.getElementById('output');

Your unordered list seems to be created by the printList function. I noticed a few issues with it:

  • no matter what the argument is, the loop uses the length of correctQuestion
  • each time through the loop prints the same (first) item ("list[0]")
  • this function is never called by the program
