Answer 1

I've encountered a similar problem before:

"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null"

Means that you're probably didn't set an id in order for the function to look for the value, so it can retrieve it.

Example:

 
function myfunc() {
   text = document.getElementById('msg').value;
}

This will return the following error you get. Correct approach:

      
function myfunc() {
     text = document.getElementById('msg').value;
    }

Hope that helps!
