Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'textContent' of null error
I am trying to use dc.js to implement the crossfilter and d3. I am almost successful. When I run my code in JSFiddle, it works perfectly ok! But when i try to implement the exact code on the local system, it gives me Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'textContent' of null error.
My code is
trial1.js
the line of code in d3.js that gives the error is this.node().textContent;
Answer
I had the same issue! localy
Just found out that the:
<div id="year-chart"></div>
was misplaced!
just try to setup all your html content before the JS files. And will work fine!
see the example:
obs: It was working on JSFiddle because the html (must) rend before the js scripts!
Hopefully will work for you too.
