[Javascript] document.getElementById has no properties

[junado at junado.com (Julien Nadeau)]

It's hard to get an idea of what's going wrong without a live  
example, but I can think of two things:

1) Your $Back_Link PHP variable could contain faulty characters (I'm  
thinking about \, ', "... theses chars, if not escaped, would wreck  
havoc on your "rendered" source).
or 2) If your PHP is configured with register_globals = off,  
$Language_Id should be called as $_GET['Language_id'] (turning off  
register_globals is a good thing, too).

If this is not the problem, I would suggest you start debugging by  
changing the appendChild statement to try and append a textNode to  
your <a> tag, just to see if this works. If it does, then you know  
that you have to narrow your debugging to your top.bottombar[1][<?= 
$Language_ID?>] part.

Something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
     var text = document.createTextNode("This works!");
     document.getElementById("bottomback").appendChild(text);
</script>
