Why doesn't it recognise the id?

https://code.sololearn.com/Wjb2jxV8C2kp/?ref=app I've made this example code. For some reason, it doesn't get the element with the id. Why???

The DOM isn't completely rendered when the JavaScript runs, that's why JavaScript can't find the element, wrap the code in load event handler function and it will work. window.onload = function() { var hey = document.getElementById("hithere"); hey.innerHTML = "jk"; }
