Hey Vineel , I think in prompt you are starting name from lowercase but in your student.js name every name store under an object of array starting from Uppercase...

    if(student.name === search.toLowerCase())   //convert search value in lowercase

Hi Vineel,

Your code isn't the problem. If you type a name in the alert box -> click ok -> then type in quit in the next alert box - you'll notice Safari has processed your code.

The reason its not updating after each alert - like Chrome - is due to how Safari works. Safari appears to be blocking the dom from loading, because it keeps getting alert boxes. - best guess is this is a performance / security feature of Safari.
