List isn't showing up. I'm guessing my curly braces are misplaced.

3,584 PointsLooks like you have a curly brace too much at the end of this line? ;
statusHTML+=«<li class=‘out’>»;}}
Steven Parker
231,275 PointsI don't think that's an issue. One brace closes the "else" block and the other one ends the "for" loop block.
In fact, I'd already checked for mismatched braces before I asked for the snapshot.

3,584 PointsSteven Parker ah, you're right. Maybe something wrong with the file he's loading?

231,275 PointsThe snapshot will make a complete analysis possible.

18,975 PointsThanks! I compared my code to the solution and it turned out that I needed an extra closing curling brace to close the response function.
Steven Parker
231,275 PointsBy "response function" do you mean the one assigned to onreadystatechange in the example? The code shown above seems to have properly matching pairs of open and close braces.
Leo Marco Corpuz
18,975 PointsYeah, but I was making changes with the curly braces after I made the post so my code was a little different when I compared it to the solution.

18,975 PointsHere's 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.length; 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();
