I get an error when running the code

I get an error when running the code: var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.onreadystatechange = function () { if (xhr.readyState === 4) { console.log(xhr.responseText); } } xhr.open('GET', 'data/employees.json'); xhr.send();

the console displays: port-80-bbkse5stv7.ecs-production.treehouse-app.net/:6 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://port-80-bbkse5stv7.ecs-production.treehouse-app.net/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS. port-80-bbkse5stv7.ecs-production.treehouse-app.net/:8 GET https://port-80-bbkse5stv7.ecs-production.treehouse-app.net/js/midget.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404

I tried to remove the google text link in the index.html. This removes the first error, but I still get the 404 error in my request.

Best regards, Lars

Hi Lars Johansen it would be helpful if you could include your workspace so we can take a look at the code properly. Having said that, your request is to a local file that you need to have alongside your JS file: data/employees.json. 404 represents not found.

I figured out the 404 error myself. It was a typo in the link in index.html. However the google text error persist. You might consider updating the google text link in the workspace in the future. BR Lars
