programming AJAX

Can you please check what the problem is with this code. I tried to do the rooms widget on my own. I do not get any errors, but the list comes undefined and in my employees list, instead of in the rooms list. 

var xhr1 = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr1.onreadystatechange = function () {
  if(xhr1.readyState === 4 && xhr1.status === 200) {
    var rooms = JSON.parse(xhr1.responseText);
    var statusHTML1 = '<ul class="bulleted">';
    for (var i=0; i<rooms.length; i += 1) {
      if (rooms[i].available === true) {
        statusHTML1 += '<li class="yes">';
      } else {
        statusHTML1 += '<li class="no">';
      }
      statusHTML1 += rooms[i].room;
      statusHTML1 += '</li>';
    }
    statusHTML += '</ul>';
    document.getElementById('roomList').innerHTML = statusHTML;
  }
};
xhr.open('GET', '../data/rooms.json');
xhr.send();

Two possible problems:

1) Class name for the unordered list has changed. It should now be:

'<ul class="rooms">'

2) Using the right class name for the list items. I think you need to change your if/else statement so that if true, 

        statusHTML += '<li class="empty">';

And then if false the class name would be full.

Hope that helps!

var statusHTML1 = '<ul class="rooms">';

i forgot to change the class name of this (above), and also forgot to change the variable names (below) to xhr1. 

xhr1.open('GET', '../data/rooms.json');
xhr1.send();

but thank you all for your replies.
