Unwanted space in list (I guess something wrong with the loop)

Hi, I was trying to complete challenge 2 but got some issues when printing the list it's printing an extra empty list item after each list item. The answers to the questions where all changed to "a" to test the program easily. Any extra info on how can improve the program would be highly appreciated. This is the link to the workspace snapshot ----> https://w.trhou.se/07xty5vta3 Thanks

I think you encountered this same issue in a different file on Sunday, but I'll repeat the answer here:

On line 23 of "quiz.js", instead of an end tag for the list item, there's an extra starting tag:

  htmlInput += "<li>" + item[i] + "<li>";   // original
  htmlInput += "<li>" + item[i] + "</li>";  // fixed

The extra starting tag creates an empty list item after each intended one.

That's OK. You can't delete a question once an answer has been given anyway.
