I must have something different than Dave does. Anyone have a moment to take a look and see what is causing my unexpected end of input. It says it is on the last line xhr.send(); This is what is showing in the videos so I'm not sure whats happening. I'm sure its something simple. Thanks everyone.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.onreadystatechange = function () { if(xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) { 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();

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

54,972 PointsUsually this is due to a missing bracket but I don't see one in what you posted. It would be easier to tell if you formatted your code using markdown. But I tested your code in the video's workspace and it ran without error.
If you are using a workspace can you post a snapshot? Click the camera icon in the upper right corner, then take snapshot, then post the link created here.
