For future postings, please use Markdown formatting to preserve the appearance of the code, or share the entire workspace by making a snapshot and posting the link to it.

But it appears that your issues are just spelling issues. JavaScript is case-sensitive, so "li" (lower case) is not the same thing as "Li" (capital "L") as it is written in a couple of places. Also, there are multiple misspellings of the argument "event" (singular) as "events" (plural).
