I am pretty new to javascript and want to code a header of an html site. JS: when the window width is smaller than 1215px --> left part goes 100% width; right part of the header to 0
I always get the "Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of null " Error!
Please Help! Code:
if (window.innerWidth < 1215) {
document.getElementById("#headerLeft").setAttribute("style", "width:100%");
document.getElementById("#headerRight").setAttribute("style", "width:0%");
} else {
document.getElementById("#headerLeft").setAttribute("style", "width:50%");
document.getElementById("#headerRight").setAttribute("style", "width:50%");
}
body {
margin:0;
}
header{
height:100px;
width:100%;
}
#headerLeft {
background-color:#FF7043;
height:100px;
float:left;
}
#headerRight {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
height:100px;
float:right;
}
.headerTitle {
font-family:'Roboto', sans-serif;
margin:15px;
font-size:70px;
}
#headerRight .headerTitle {
text-align:left;
color:#FF7043;
font-weight:300;
}
#headerLeft .headerTitle {
text-align:center;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-weight:900;
}

It is because all of your calls to document.getElementById
are failing to find anything since there aren't any elements with those IDs. Looks like jQuery habits in play, remove the #
from your IDs.
At first do selection by Id without '#'. The second is to set style in such way:
document.getElementById('').style.width = "20%";
