Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 16,610 PointsThis piece of code:
if (employees[i].inoffice === true) {
statusHTML = '<li class="in">';
} else {
statusHTML = '<li class="out">';
}
You're setting the string equal to the <li> tags instead of adding them onto what you have. This erases what was previously written. So just use the += operator.
if (employees[i].inoffice === true) {
statusHTML += '<li class="in">';
} else {
statusHTML += '<li class="out">';
}
Additionally, you may want to look into markdown to make your post easier to read. This can help improve your chances of getting an answer.
