JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Data Using Objects The Build an Object Challenge, Part 2

The Objects won't print to the page

I can't print the objects using the function "print". I have gone to the video, The Student Record Challenge, and launched the workspace there and viewed it but even then it would just show the header "Students" with a blank space beneath it.

Here is the function...

function print(message) {
  var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
  outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}

Please edit your post and add the entire javascript code and html, not just the print function. Use the markdown cheat sheet to see how to properly post code on the forum using three backticks.

I've experienced a lag in workspaces sometimes when previewing. It doesn't get updated right away. To check if this is happening you can do a view source on the preview to make sure your latest revisions are present in the preview's source.
