error message
Without seeing more than just the error message I can't say exactly what is causing the error, but.
Is there a typo? Does an element with whatever string is in the parentheses exist at the time the script runs?

null or not an object
Some browsers are case sensitive
document.getElementById('advert'); will not get <div id="Advert">
Also, if the script runs as the page loads, the element may not have been loaded into the DOM yet so the script can't get it. This can be solved by putting the script in a function and running it "onload" after the DOM has finished loading.
Comments on this post
colton22 agrees: you could use: document.onload, Mittineague Did you see the code yet?

This error can be generated if you are trying to pass the getElementById() method to a variable that hasn't been defined also.
