Hi Mauro Bonucci

You need to check that the readyState is 4 AND that the status is 200. That requires using a conditional statement with an AND operator like this:

if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {

}

Hi Mauro,

You have an extra ) right after 200, plus you don't set the readyState to 200, no point for that. Check the code below

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
  if (xhr.readyState === 4){ /* Do whatever logic is needed */ }
};
xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html');
xhr.send();

Your right :-S, thanks Robert
