First of all, I would like to apologize about my poor web programming skill. I'm still new to Javascript.
Here is my problem : I get an Uncaught TypeError while trying to reproduce the [Embed Api guide for Google Analytics]
The exact error I get : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null (cb=gapi.loaded_0:139)
I looked for an answer but didn't find any that was working.
Here is my full code :
<head>
<script>
(function(w,d,s,g,js,fs){
g=w.gapi||(w.gapi={});g.analytics={q:[],ready:function(f){this.q.push(f);}};
js=d.createElement(s);fs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
js.src='https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js';
fs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fs);js.onload=function(){g.load('analytics');};
}(window,document,'script'));

I'm sorry about this question, I'm sure the answer is pretty dumb... Thank you for taking some time to help me.
There are possibly more cases of this error in that block of code but this is the first one I came across:
var title = document.getElementById('view-name');
title.innerHTML = data.property.name + ' (' + data.view.name + ')';
This will cause the "Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null" error because you don't have an element on the page with the id of 'view-name', therefore title = null when you are calling innerHTML on it.
