  var inp = document.getElementById('inp');
  var log = document.getElementById('log');
  inp.onkeyup = logKey;
  console.log(inp);

i get a console log error report saying that on line 16 'inp' is undefined. I am 84.5 and trying to learn how to generate and interact with a web page. i wrote my first program in 1960 and have extensive C# experience but web programming seems to be more about where things are placed rather than what they do. Yes, i have history off.
