nothing is going on, i cant even get a console.log back? <script src="js/widget.js"></script> I've got this in the head of the html too
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();

tag. No script errors occur, and the resulting HTML error does not cause anything to be displayed.
You probably intended to use a concatenating assignment there ("+=
").
In tracking down this kind of problem, it can be useful to temporarily add "debugger" and/or "console.log" statements at points in the code related to the issue.
