JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Data Using Objects The Student Record Search Challenge Solution

My solution to final challenge. Any feedback would be really appreciated.

This is my solution to the final challenge. It seems to work but I'm new to JavaScript and so don't know if it's best practice or not. Any feedback on where I might be going wrong would be really appreciated.

'''javascript

var students = [ { name: 'Dave', track: 'Front End Development', achievements: 158, points: 14730 }, { name: 'Jody', track: 'iOS Development with Swift', achievements: '175', points: '16375' }, { name: 'Jody', track: 'PHP Development', achievements: '55', points: '2025' }, { name: 'John', track: 'Learn WordPress', achievements: '40', points: '1950' }, { name: 'Trish', track: 'Rails Development', achievements: '5', points: '350' } ];

'''

'''javascript

var message = ' '; var student; var search;

function print(message) { var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output'); outputDiv.innerHTML = message; }

function getReport( student ){ var report = '<h2>Student: ' + student.name + '</h2>'; report += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>'; report += '<p>Points: ' + student.points + '</p>'; report += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>'; return report; }

while(true){

search = prompt("Search for a student by name or type 'quit' to exit");

if( search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'quit' ){ break; } else { print("<h2>There is no student by that name</h2>"); }

for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) { student = students[i];

if( search === student.name ) {
  message += getReport( student );
  print(message);
  continue;
} 

}
message = ' '; }

I did the code blocks wrong here obviously. I've re-submitted the question again here;
