Hi,

There is no widget.html file required here.

In the video Dave refers to a widget.html file to show what the hypothetical designer gave us. It is basically a mock up of what the finished file should look like. We do not need it in this example.

If you are meaning where does the Employee information come from it is specified in the the AJAX Open Request and dealt with in the AJAX callback function:

xhr.open('GET', 'data/employees.json');
