Hey guys I was wondering why my last script in this file isn’t working – its suppose to take the value that is being pulled from JSON and compare it to a set value. Thanks for all the help everyone!

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {

var url = "https://graph.facebook.com/tenniswarehouse?callback=?";


$.getJSON(url,function(json){
    var html = "<div id=\"tester\">" + json.likes + "</div>";
    //A little animation once fetched
     $('.facebookfeed').html(html);

 });
 });
 </script>
 </head>
  <body onload="timeMsg()">
   <div class="facebookfeed">
    <h2></h2>
  </div>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  var x =document.getElementById("tester").innerHTML;
  if (x < 56700) {
  document.write("worked")
  }
 else {
 document.write("didn't work")
 }
 </script>
 </body>
 </html>

    You need this to be in a function, like: 

    function myFunc() {
  var x =document.getElementById("tester").innerHTML;
  if (x < 56700) {
     document.write("worked")
  }
  else {
     document.write("didn't work")
  }
}

    And then call it like so:

    $.getJSON(url,function(json){
    var html = "<div id=\"tester\">" + json.likes + "</div>";
    //A little animation once fetched
     $('.facebookfeed').html(html);

     myFunc();
   });

    Because you are executing that code before tester is added to the DOM.
