How to solve a problem of "Cannot set properties of null (setting 'innerHTML')"

How can I solve a problem of "Cannot set properties of null (setting 'innerHTML')"?

Are you sure idAct is correct? I am not a daily Angular user, but in HTML it’s just id. Try replacing idAct with id.

Also try using the window.onload event:

window.onload = (event)=>{
       document.getElementById("uniqueID").innerHTML = id()
}

i try it but it didn't work – Dorra Apr 03 '22 at 14:46
@Dorra sorry about the earlier comment, i got confused, you can try window.onload as the p tag may not be loaded into the dom yet when your script is being run. Do this with the id and not idAct – Aayush Garg Apr 03 '22 at 14:49
