You have to load it after HTML, either by,script tags at the bottom of body. Or by using window.onload = () => {your code}.

It loades in head tag, so it executes before there is any element. Then you have to use window.onload

If placed in JS page it is automatically placed to head tag in HTML. So it executes when head is loaded. But in that time there is no body tag (with all child nodes) loaded. So it throws undefined as the variable value. Got it?
