Your script runs before the body is parsed, so the element doesn't exist yet. You need to make sure it executes *after* the document is parsed.

That's a JavaScript error, not a MochiKit error. Properties are what objects have. In Python they're called attributes. In general, "has no properties" means you've got undefined or null where an object was expected. > 2. Does including MochiKit.js automatically include all the libraries > in MochiKit?
