Do you get the same error, if you change the code like this: function init() { var earthObj = null; var mercObj = null; var jupiObj = null; var animate; mercObj = document.getElementById('mercury'); earthObj = document.getElementById('earth'); jupiObj = document.getElementById('jupiter'); mercObj.style.position= 'relative'; mercObj.style.left = '54px'; mercObj.style.visibility = 'hidden'; !earhtObj && alert("There is no element with id 'earth'"); earthObj.style.left = '80px'; earthObj.style.top = '300px'; earthObj.style.position= 'relative'; } I came accros this post and thought if the error might be connected with IE6/7 bug that triggers when some global variable gets the same name as dom object. I also moved the earthObj.style.posit

As a result document.getElementById("username") returns null and null.value throws an exception, since null is not allowed to have properties. Exactly why that is not finding your element depends on your HTML and when this JS snippets runs. share|improve this answer answered Feb 13 '12 at 5:37 Alex Wayne 86.1k27200249 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote try to put this text to debug alert(document.getElementById("username")); alert(document.getElementById("password")); if it said htmlxxxelemen

UGH crmalibu 2009-06-03 17:53:12 UTC #5 Break your code up into many lines so the line number in the error message is more specific. Instead of assuming an object has a property or method, test it before using it. if (window.open) { window.open(...); } var elem = document.getElementById('livesearch'); // elem could be null. trying to use a property of something that is null will throw an error if (elem) { // elem is not null, we can use the property elem.value; } Be aware that an element with the given id needs to exist at the time that script runs for getElementById() to be able to grab it. dc_dalton 2009-06-03 18:20:42 UTC #6 crmalibu said: Break your code up into many lines so the line number in the error message is more specific.
