has no properties error

I get common error "document.getElementById("grid") has no properties"

what's missing here ?

<script language="javascript">
document.getElementById('grid').innerHTML = "xxx";
</script>

<div id="grid">div>

If that is your code, verbatim, it's because the script gets executed
before the <div> is created and added to the DOM. So when
document.getElementById('grid') is called, it returns undefined.

You want the script moved after the <div>, or make it get called after
the document is done loading.
