3,697 PointsNothing shows up on page after search
Can't seem to figure out why the results searched aren't showing up on the page. Looked at everything but having trouble spotting the issue.
var student;
var report = '';
var search;
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
function getStudentReport(student){
var report = '<h3>Name: ' + student.name + '</h3>';
report += '<p>Track: ' + student.track + '</p>';
report += '<p>Achievements: ' + student.achievements + '</p>';
report += '<p>track: ' + student.points + '</p>';
return report;
}
while(true) {
search = prompt("Search student records: Type a name [Jody] (or type 'quit' to exit)");
if(search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'QUIT');{
break;
}
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i++){
student = students[i];
if(student.name === search){
message = getStudentReport(student);
print(message);
}
}
}

if(search === null || search.toLowerCase() === 'quit') {
