Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getBoundingClientRect')

[Rossmiester]

Hi I am using GreenSock on my WordPress website and getting the error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getBoundingClientRect')" - see image. 

 

GreenSock animations are working but this error happens when I add the ScrollTrigger js. I have searched the web for answers but have had no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi @Rossmiester. That doesn't look like it has anything to do with any GreenSock code. It's difficult to troubleshoot just by looking at the error message, but it looks like when that code executes, the document can't find any element with a "mysvg" class applied. If you still need some help with a GSAP-specific question, please provide a minimal demo and we'd be happy to take a peek. 

 

Good luck!

@GreenSock Excellent - thanks for the super quick response. Let me see if I can get a codepen up. Thanks!!

@GreenSock I am glad I reached out to you bc your answer solved my issue. I am such a bonehead. I am not sure why but that code I had was conflicting with the ScrollTrigger JS. I just deleted it and it works. Odd bc I don't remember ever adding the script to my project but oh well. Thanks. You can delete this thread. Thanks again :]

No problem! It happens to all of us. Glad you figured it out.
