getting [Object][object] instead of the values from the properties.

//variables
var message = ""; 
var student;


//start w/ a for loop to cycle the array
//and access the student OBJECT inside it
for (var i = 0; i < students.length; i += 1) {
//  take ONE student out of STUDENTS
  student = students[i];
//  access the PROPERTY of that OBJECT
  message += "Student " + student.name + "<br>";
}
print(message);

Thanks Steve, I did look somewhere else, cause i noticed it printed fine to the console. I had some code at the bottom of my file that I thought I had commented out. Got rid of that and it works fine.

This little snippet looks okay, perhaps the problem is elsewhere. You can share all the code at once if you use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.
