    lists = context.get_web().get_lists();
    context.load(lists);
    context.executeQueryAsync(function () { renderListTiles(); }, function () { errorLoadingLists(); });
});
function getUserName() {
    context.load(user);
    context.executeQueryAsync(onGetUserNameSuccess, onGetUserNameFail);
}
function onGetUserNameSuccess() {

    var errMessage = document.createElement("div");
    errMessage.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Lists could not be retrieved."));
}
function renderListTiles() {
    var listEnumerator = lists.getEnumerator();
    tileArea = document.getElementById("tileArea");
    while (listEnumerator.moveNext()) {
        var list = listEnumerator.get_current();
        var listTitle = list.get_title();
        if ((listTitle == "List1") || (listTitle == "List2") || (listTitle == "List3")) {
            var itemCount = list.get_itemCount();
            var tile = document.createElement("a");
            tile.setAttribute("class", "tile");
            tile.setAttribute("href", "../Lists/" + listTitle);
            tile.appendChild(document.createTextNode(listTitle));
            tileArea.appendChild(tile);
            var tileBody = document.createElement("div");
            tileBody.setAttribute("class", "tileNumber");
