I got RJS error: TypeError: element is null while using ajax.

I used in view

<%= periodically_call_remote(:url=>{:action=>'get_user_list', :id=>'1'},
:frequency => '5') %>

in controller

  render :update do |page|
    page.replace_html  'chat_area', :partial => 'chat_area', :object => [@chats, @user]     if @js_update
  end

in partial chat_area

<% if [email protected]? && !show_div(@chats).blank?%>
    <% show_div_id=show_div(@chats) %>
  <% for chat in @chats %>
      <div class="popup" id="chat_area_<%= chat.id %>"
style="display:<%= (chat.id == show_div_id)? 'block' : 'none' %>;">

        <% form_remote_for(:chat, :url => {:controller=>'chats',
:action=>'create', :id=>1}, :html=>{:name => "form_#{chat.id}"},
:plete=>"resetContent('#{chat.id}');") do |f| %>
        <div style="display:none;">
            <%= f.hidden_field :sessionNo, :value=>chat.sessionNo %>
            <%= f.text_area :chatContent,  :id=>
"chatContent_field_#{chat.id}", :cols=>"100", :rows=>"6",
:onKeyPress=>"return submitenter(this,event);" %>
          </div>
            <input type="image" src="images/chat/send-hover.png"
value="Send" onclick="return submit_button('<%= chat.id %>')"/>
        <% end %>
      </div>

    </div>
  <% end %>

<% else %>
      <div class="popup" id="chat_area_none" style="display:'block';">
          <input type="image" disabled ="disabled"
src="images/chat/send.png" style="cursor:default;" value="Send" />
      </div>
<% end %>

My div present in index.html.erb

      <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tbody><tr>
            <td align="left" width="80%" valign="top" style="">
              <%= text_area :chat, :chatContent,  :id=> "chatContent_field", :cols=>"100", :rows=>"6" %>
            </td>
            <td align="left" width="20%" valign="bottom" style="padding-left:10px;padding-left:10px;x" >
              <div id="chat_area">
                 <%= render :partial => 'chat_area' %>
              </div>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

Any help is appreciated.

• Element is null means that there is DOM element on the page that the returned javascript is trying to access that cannot be found. I cannot see the issue immediately, but that is what the error means. – Apie Commented Mar 19, 2010 at 6:22

I find it out why it happens because I didn't close div above the "chat_area" properly. the only thing i did isclose the div and it works like a magic, neways thanks to all

This means that RJS is attempting to manipulate something in html output that doesn't exist.

It looks like the problem is that you want to update your user_list but nothing with that id exists in your html. Make sure you are rendering that, also make sure you have the update attribute in your periodically_call_remote method set to the id of the element you want to update.

periodically_call_remote(:url => { :action => 'get_user_list' }, :update => 'get_user_list')
