This code is not working except the "quit" part ; But I'm getting the message printed out unless I cancel.

var students = [ { name : "debasis",track : "jaascript",achivement : "4" ,points : "5499"}, { name : "kishan",track : "python",achivement : "3" ,points : "1422"}, { name : "soraj",track : "html",achivement : "8" ,points : "3022"}, { name : "ashish",track : "Ajax",achivement : "2" ,points : "3222"}, { name : "neha",track : "css",achivement : "9" ,points : "13422"}, ]; var student; var message;

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

} function getReport(student){

    var report = "<h1> Student:  "+student.name +"</h1>";
    report += "<p> track:  "+student.track +"</p>";
    report += "<p> achivement:  "+student.achivement+"</p>";
    report += "<p> points:  "+student.points +"</p>"; 
    return report;

}

while(true){ var response = prompt("Name of the student you want to search for ? or Enter 'Q or q' to quit"); for(var i = 0; i < students.length ; i+=1){ student = students[i];

if(student.name === response){
        message = getReport(student);
        print(message);


    }
}
if(response.toLowerCase() === "q" ){
    print("bye");
    break;
}

}

If I'm interpreting you correctly, what you describe is normal.

Please read the "Important Update" under the "Teacher's Notes" on the video page.

yeah, I read it But I want it to be printed out on the page once it matches a name. Is there any way to do that?

Only when you "quit". You'll learn other ways to to do output later that will not have this restriction.
