The Student Record Search Challenge Solution - even more improved version

What I did here:

  • it shows all students data
  • prompt doesn't reappear after you search
  • you don't have to refresh site just click on button to call prompt

IIf anyone wonders about anything in the code feel free to ask.

By the way, how to add spacing when posting codes here in community ?
