when i use exactly the same code as in the video, everything works but it only prints the last object to my page

So i have used exactly the same code in my own .js file and it only prints the last object in the array onto the page, i have 3 objects in the array but when the for loop runs it ignores the first 2 objects? any help?

Without seeing your code, my guess is that you're using innerHTML and overwriting it for each element in your array. Does it work if you add everything to a variable like message and then print the variable?

If that doesn't help, you'll be able to get a more specific answer if you post your code.

Thanks, i fixed it now thankfully, after ages looking at the code i realised i wasn't using += for my first message variable after setting it at the top of the .js file. I changed it and all worked ok.

That would do it! Glad you got it sorted. :)
