I can't make the search results print out onto the page

The search results won't print out onto the page! I already had a similar problem in the previous videos with the text not printing out onto the page! I have tried document.write method and the print(message) function. Both didn't work. I have been testing this for a while and I think it could be team treehouse's website. I have tried reinstalling Chrome, trying it on Safari, and trying it on Firefox but it doesn't work. I have copied exactly what Dave wrote in this video and it still doesn't work. Here is a link to my workspace... https://w.trhou.se/y3uwuk0c85

Hi.

You did not set var i to any value in your for loop. You have to set it to 0.

I switched the direction of the greater than sign so it should continue to pop up the prompts; but now it doesn't print the student info when I type in the student name.

Hi, there is one more thing to change in your code. message = getStudentReport(student); rather than with +=

I tried that and it didn't change anything.
