Question

var localPlaceholder = document.getElementById('localFiles');
                for (i=0; i<entries.length; i++) {
                        var newList = document.createElement( "li" );
                        newList.nodeValue = entries[i].name;
                        localPlacholder.appendChild(newList);
                }

Does this make any sense? For some reason I am not seeing anything added – though entries[i].name DOES return values if I debug it with alert boxes.

EDIT: localFiles is a ul

Answer 1

instead of:

newList.nodeValue = entries[i].name;

try:

newList.innerHTML = entries[i].name;
