Playlist has 12 items

My playlist has 12 items and every other item is blank. Whats wrong with my code?

var playList = [ 'I Did It My Way', 'Respect', 'Imagine', 'Born to Run', 'Louie Louie', 'Maybellene' ];

function print(message) { document.write(message); }

function printList(list) { var listHTML = '<ol>'; for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i += 1) { listHTML += '<li>' + list[i] + '<li>'; } listHTML +='</ol>'; print(listHTML); }

printList(playList);

found it: ...</li> (instead of <li> x 2)... needed to close the list item tag

Hi Rod,

You have two opening <li> tags when you're forming your list. Make sure to change the 2nd one to </li> to close each list item properly.

I have marked the line with a <----

var playList = [
  "I Did It My Way",
  "Respect",
  "Imagine",
  "Born to Run",
  "Louie Louie",
  "Maybellene"
];

function print(message) {
  document.write(message);
}

function printList(list) {
  var listHTML = "<ol>";
  for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    listHTML += "<li>" + list[i] + "</li>"; <------
  }
  listHTML += "</ol>";
  print(listHTML);
}

printList(playList);
