I had the same problem and I fixed it changing the following code in index.html:

<script src="js/helpers.js"></script> <script src="js/playlist.js"></script>

to

<script src="js/helpers.js"></script> <script src="playlist.js"></script>

Not sure if you are inside js folder after calling the first js file.

Any idea?

It works now.

When I previewed it in Workspaces, it rendered the list items. I also copied all the files to Dreamweaver and then looked at it a browser, and the code rendered the list items as well. Not sure how you are previewing it?

That's weird! After your replies I tried running it on Firefox and it worked. However, I can't still see items on my default browser Chrome. I'm using the latest version and no plug ins are installed that would interfere with pages. I'll change to Firefox for quick fix. Thanks.

Edit: I encountered same issue on Firefox in another lesson, so I found another solution for those who experience the same thing. (for Firefox only) Hold down the shift key, and then left-click the reload button. Before that, js file did not load for some unknown reason.

Well, that is weird! Glad you could finally get it to show up, though with some fiddling. I'm running the latest Chrome on the latest mac os. You could check your browser's cache settings. Don't know if you're on a PC, but I've encountered browsers on a PC that refused to refresh things like CSS and JS files due to cacheing issues.
