I have this code here:

document.getElementById('success').style.display(block);

document.getElementById('success').text(aaaa);

and I get this error, why?

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null 



<span id=success style=color:#FFF; display:none;></span>

I moved my code to bottom of the page and I get this new error now

Uncaught TypeError: Property 'display' of object #<CSSStyleDeclaration> is not a function

Should be:

var elSuccess = document.getElementById('success');

elSuccess.style.display = 'block';

elSuccess.innerText = 'aaa';
