I'm new to JavaScript and JQuery, and I'm trying to figure out why my function doesn't get called when I press the button. My only clue is that the Firefox Console is showing TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null. I found this example, which says "document.write will overwrite the entire DOM if it's called after the document has finished being parsed" and that's why it's happening. I took a look at my code, and I moved the button into my div tag and it's still happening. I also tried moving the button into it's own div tags. Compiler didn't seem to like syntax when I tried adding html tags where the button is. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to fix this.
I'm following this example for the function call on button click. Hopefully I'm applying it ok to my project.
This is my code:
