The following, very basic script, fails in Chrome and Safari with this error Cannot call method 'appendChild' of null

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="raphael-min.js">
        </script>

        <script type="text/javascript">

            var paper = Raphael("canvas", 320, 200);

        </script>
    </head> 
    <body>
        <div id="canvas"></div>
    </body>
</html>

    You should wrap the call when the DOM is ready.

$(function() {
    var paper = Raphael("canvas", 320, 200);
});
</script>
