JavaScript AJAX Basics (retiring) AJAX and APIs Displaying the Photos

Not understanding why my code isn't working. Using a Mac. Photos not loading to the page.

$(document).ready(function () { $('button').click(function () { $("button").removeClass("selected"); $(this).addClass("selected"); var flickerAPI = "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?"; var animal = $(this).text(); var flickrOptions = { tags: animal, format: "json" };
function displayPhotos(data) { var photoHTML = '<ul>'; $.each( data.items, function (i, photo) { photoHTML += '<li class="grid-25 tablet-grid-50">'; photoHTML += '<a href="' + photo.link + '" class="image">'; photoHTML += '<img src="' + photo.media.m + '"></a></li>'; }); photoHTML = '</ul>'; $('#photos').html(photoHTML); } $.getJSON(flickerAPI flickrOptions, displayPhotos); });
});// end ready

The only two things I see with your code is that you are trying to link to the Flickr API using http instead of https and you are missing the first comma in $.getJSON(flickerAPI, flickrOptions, displayPhotos);

Hope that helps.

Hey Dean I think that your main mistake here is not closing the <ul> , use += operator to add correctly </ul> closing tag to var photoHTML, right now it seems that you make photoHTML = </ul> only
