below is a complete HTML source for building a simple toolbar with google closure.

Gives an error message in Chrome: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'addChild' of undefined at the spot marked with // ERROR comment.

Could anyone suggest a tip fixing this? Thanks!!!

edit: that’s right, missed new, but another error was that I should have used render() instead of decorate(), because decorate() requires all dom elements in place (and I don’t have placeholders for the buttons defined), while render() creates new ones.

    There may be other problems, but the error is because you need the new keyword so the line should look like this:

     var tb = new goog.ui.Toolbar();
