Not displaying anything

There are no errors in the console, and the HTML is not showing in the elements tab. Is this a problem with the loop or with sending the information to HTML?

const main = document.querySelector('main'); let HTML = '';

for (let i = 0; i < pets.length; i++) { let pet = pets[i]; html += <h2>${pet.name}</h2> <h3${pet.type} | ${pet.breed}></h3> <p>Age: ${pet.age}</p> <img src="${pet.photo}" alt="${pet.breed}"> ; }

main.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', html);

I think you have forgotten the backticks. Example: 

`${some.name}`

Also JavaScript is case sensitivity. HTML all caps different than html small caps. I think inside the code block you reassign the value.

I see two issues:

  • "HTML" (all caps) is defined, but then "html" (lower case) is referenced in later code
  • the "pets" array is not defined but referenced in the code

And to make your code display as intended (preserving indentation, line breaks, and special characters like backticks), always use Markdown formatting when posting.
