What is wrong with this code?

Question

let demo = document.getElementById("p-el").innerHTML
console.log(demo)
I'm getting a "cannot read property null of InnerHTML

Answer 1

Put the code right after the html code in the body tag with the script tag, the js code is being run before the html gets loaded.

Answer 2

Thanks it worked.. But is this peculiar to SoloLearn ide how that's how it generally is?

Answer 3

Well I don't know about that, I've never really done a js project outside of sololearn but I've definitely seen a lot of complaints on that outside of sololearn so maybe.
