I am getting error only in IE7 as document.body is null; when I debug with Microsoft script editor I am getting the error in the following line: i.e.

document.body.appendChild(i)

Code:

function nm_eraseCookie(name){
    nm_createCookie(name,"",-1)
}
var i=document.createElement('IMG');
i.src='//e.netmng.com/pixel/?aid=403';
i.width=1;
i.height=1;
document.body.appendChild(i);
nm_createCookie('nm_belgacom_bt',
escape('tv1=bun_intvtel;tv2=;tv3=;phone1=hbs_discoveryline;phone2=hbs_classical_line;phone3=;inet1=bun_nettvmob;inet2=hbs_adsl_res_plus;inet3=hbs_adsl_res_go;nm_banner=;nm_popin=hbs_discoveryline;'),183);

Can you inform me what I need to do to solve this issue?

Answer

You could try

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(i);

Now that won't do you any good if the code is running in the <head>, and running before the <body> has even been seen by the browser. If you don't want to mess with "onload" handlers, try moving your <script> block to the very end of the document instead of the <head>.

document.body.appendChild(i)
