Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'appendChild' of null

I get the error : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'appendChild' of null

Smartbanner.js line: 189 "document.body.appendChild(sb);"

But "sb" does get declared a few lines higher up "var sb = document.createElement('div');"

Any idea what might be the issue?

just installed it, and this is the first error i have as well.

Could you provide a piece of code?

[CtrlF5]

found that this is due to the body not being initialised yet as code is placed in head. Might be worth putting a document.readyStateChange before the code is run.

As a test i replaced line: 189

            document.onreadystatechange = function () {
              if (document.readyState == "complete") {
                document.body.appendChild(sb);
              }
            }

which works as it waits for the body to be available before adding the element.

Other way is to put smartbanner initialization right after body close tag

[CtrlF5]

yes, i can place the code at the bottom, which i might choose to do so, but the example you have on install is then incorrect. so by taking your example the code fails without a catch for the the document to load.

right now README contains relevant example. prob this issue should be closed
