Is this script executed in your document head? – Daedalus Feb 12 '14 at 00:31
Yes it's in the head. – Amauri Feb 12 '14 at 00:33

That's your problem then; either put it somewhere after your html, or put it in an on-load handler. It isn't working because the document has yet to finish loading by the time it is executed. – Daedalus Feb 12 '14 at 00:34
