JAVASCRIPT

var benefitsVar = document.getElementById("memberBenefits");
or (var l=0; l < dataPull.benefits.length; l++){

Here's how you do it using ajax :

Note : I don't understand why you don't want to use jquery.It won't harm if you use jquery. Use jquery for the ajax thing and use javascript for the other things :

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://localhost/data.json',
    crossDomain:true,
    dataType: 'json',             
    success: function(data){
    var newData = '';
    var i;
    for(i=0; i<benefits.length; i++){
     newData +='<ul>'+
    '<li > <h4 class="benefits">'+benefits[i].title+'</h4></li>'+
    '<li ><p class="benefits">'+benefits[i].description+' </p></li>'+
    '</ul>';

    }
$('#memberBenefits').html(newData);
    },
    error: function(){
        console.log('Could not get Data from the file');
    }
});

Your html :

<section id="memberBenefits">


</section>

I need to do this in javascript. I can't use jquery.

What I had that actually worked was the following, but it did not actually replace the data, it only appended it. newData = ''; for (var i=0; i < benefits.length; i++){ newData += '<h4>'+benefits[l].title+'</h4>'; newData += '<p>'+benefits[l].description+'</p>'; } var element = document.querySelector('#memberBenefits li'); element.innerHTML = newData; }
