Error retrieving email address using facebook SDK

I want to retrieve a email address of a user by calling facebook api. I am using 

FB.api('/me?fields=email', function(response) {
var txt="Email:"+response.email;
var element=document.getElementById("email").innerHTML=txt;
    });

code to retrieve a email address.

I have asked for email permission during login as follows:-

FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response) {
    if (response.status === 'connected') {
      testAPI();
    } else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {

    FB.login({scope: 'email'});
    } else {
  FB.login({scope: 'email'});
    }
  });
  };

Still when I print email id it shows "undefined".

Ok, I have got answer to my problem. If you are using Facebook's Button code then You have to add extra permissions as an array. What i was doing was that calling the Login Function manually with permissions but forgot to add permissions as a scope in button code.

<div class="fb-login-button" data-max-rows="5" data-size="xlarge" data-show-faces="true" scope=['email'] data-auto-logout-link="true"></div>
