Anne Yeiser I'm not sure either. If I take this code and copy/paste it into the challenge, it passes all four steps:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status ===200) {
  document.getElementById('sidebar').innerHTML=xhr.responseText;

}
};
xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html');

xhr.send();

Maybe restart the challenge and try this code again? :sparkles:

Hi there! It's simply a capitalization error :smiley: You've written .innerHtml instead of .innerHTML. Make that adjustment and give it another shot! :sparkles:

thank you for your response. not sure why but still did not work.
