At the time the script it run, it doesn't exist.

window.onload = function(){
alert(document.getElementById("cool"));
}

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p id="cool">this is content</p>

<script type="text/javascript">
alert(document.getElementById("cool"));
alert(document.getElementById("cool").innerHTML);
</script>
</body>
</html>
