10,637 Pointssyntax error: what's wrong in my code?
I follow the lesson in my workspace and this is my code:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
var employees = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
var statusHTML = '<ul class="bulleted">';
for (var i=0, i<employees.lenght, i += 1) {
if (employees[i].inoffice === true) {
statusHTML += '<li class="in">';
} else {
statusHTML += '<li class="out">';
}
statusHTML += employees[i].name;
statusHTML += '</li>';
}
statusHTML += '</ul>';
document.getElementById("employeeList").innerHTML = statusHTML;
}
};
xhr.open("GET", "data/employees.json");
xhr.send();
But when I launch the preview it dowsn't work. Why? Can't find the error
Thanks

18,814 PointsYou've actually got two small errors on that same line. There's the typo in length, but you also need to use ;
instead of commas in your for
expression.
for (var i=0; i<employees.length; i += 1) { // fixed length typo, fixed syntax error - change ',' to ';'
// your code here
}
That should do it, it's working for me now. Let me know if you're still having issues after those two though! Happy coding! :)
