Move the script tag where it'll get executed after the page loads. No matter where I move it I get an error about null.

It should be in <head> area correct?

Hi,

you should move it to the end of the body tag. Make sure it's the last tag inside of the <body> tag.

It will be located at the bottom of the </html>. Could someone explain to me why you'd put it at the end?
