Why won't rectangle draw on the canvas?

I'm messing around with some cross-platform things, and one of the feature includes declaring a function with the drawRect code in file2.js and calling the function in file1.js. I have my script tags inside the body of the html, after the canvas, and after I load jQuery. It's throwing an error that it doesn't recognize getContext, which is what I use to get the context in the function in file2.js. Not sure why it won't draw the rectangle and gives that error, Thanks,

Gabriel

Kinda hard to answer without actually seeing the code.
