Javascript variables/DOM Access not working on github pages

I am putting my basic projects on github pages, and my javascript does not seem to run. I searched extensively to try and solve this problem.

Basically, I have onclick = function() events in my HTML divs.

I also have javascript which saves DOM elements into variables like so. var selectorX = document.getElementById("X"); var selectorO = document.getElementById("O");

When I log into my console, I keep getting messages like selectorX is null, and selctorO is null, etc.

This tells me that the javascript variables are not properly storing the html elemnets in the cache.

Does anyone have a familiarity with this problem?

Please provide a [mcve] that reproduces problem – charlietfl May 28 '18 at 14:29
I would have to post my entire program. – Greg May 28 '18 at 15:51
Means those elements don't exist when you run that code – charlietfl May 28 '18 at 15:53
Will this remain up? I am concerned that somebody else using the exact same search terms I did will not be able to find that above post. I even searched with terms including DOM access. – Greg May 28 '18 at 22:14
