JS error only in playground

Why i gets this error on sololearn playground while the code works on repl.it? "Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null" my code html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>repl.it</title> </head> <body> <p id="demo">hello</p> <script src="script.js"></script> </body> </html> js: var a=document.getElementById("demo"); a.innerHTML="how r u"; code works fine on repl
