Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null
<p>I have this function that reads coordination from a XML file, the function works fine when its loose in the window. but when I put it inside a function, then I get the error. <code>Cannot read property 'style' of null.</code> on row 127.</p>

<p>The row 127 is </p>

<pre><code>document.getElementById(id).style.top=Ynod;
</code></pre>

<p>Any ideas ?</p>

<pre><code>var main = (function () {

    var id=Math.floor((Math.random()*1000000)+1);


    document.getElementById("add-new-sticker-btn").addEventListener("click", function(){
