I did as Dave told me, my widget.js script does not have any error - I check it by using the Chrome console - and still the list just won't appear. What is going on?

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();
