Populate html table with javascript array

I would like to fill an HTML table with a JavaScript array. But, it doesn't work and I don't know why, my "innerHTML" is not interpreted.

My variable contains the good value, but when I do this :

document.getElementById("title").innerHTML = title;

It doesn't work.

This is my code:

var title = "";
var link = "";
var date = "";
var image = "";

function get_posts() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "my_url");
xhr.onload = function () {
    if (xhr.responseText == 0) {
        alert("Vous n'avez poster aucun post");

    } else {
        var posts_array = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);

        for (var i = 0; i < posts_array.length; i++)
        {
            title = posts_array[i][0];
            link = posts_array[i][1];
            date = posts_array[i][2];
            image = posts_array[i][3];

        }
    document.getElementById("title").innerHTML = title;
    }
}
xhr.send();
}

This is my HTML :

<table id="posts">
                <tr>
                    <th id="test">Titre</th>
                    <th>Lien</th>
                    <th>Date</th>
                    <th>Image</th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td id="title"></td>
                    <td id="link"></td>
                    <td id="date"></td>
                    <td id="image"></td>
                </tr>
            </table>

You're assigning the value of title inside your loop and then setting the innerHTML of an individual cell to title. Assuming your responseText is formatted correctly, the posts table will only ever contain the last element in your array. It seems like you need to create a new table row for each item in posts_array and add it to the posts table to get your intended result.

e.g.

var t = "";
for (var i = 0; i < posts_array.length; i++){
      var tr = "<tr>";
      tr += "<td>"+posts_array[i][0]+"</td>";
      tr += "<td>"+posts_array[i][1]+"</td>";
      tr += "<td>"+posts_array[i][2]+"</td>";
      tr += "<td>"+posts_array[i][3]+"</td>";
      tr += "</tr>";
      t += tr;
}
document.getElementById("posts").innerHTML += t;
