Suspic* Solved it Your JS code is running fastly then loading of your html code so if your html did not loaded first. So there was no body element has created in your html. So document.getElementById() found nothing. Because of this your body variable has no id in it. It's Null. So it is throwing errors.

const clr = ["red", "green", "blue"]; const b = document.getElementsByTagName("body"); let idx, rnd; function time() { idx = Math.floor((Math.random() * clr.length) + 0); rnd = clr[idx]; // console.log(clr[idx]); b[0].style.backgroundColor = rnd; } // 1 sec setInterval(time, 1000); https://code.sololearn.com/WgoG7k4Xo62v Good Luck
