I am getting error specific to Internet Explorer 7 due to
document.body
being null on that platform.
The error happens when I try to do
document.body.appendChild(i)
in the following code:
function nm_eraseCookie(name) {
nm_createCookie(name,"",-1)
var i = document.createElement('IMG');
i.src = '//e.netmng.com/pixel/?aid=403';
i.width = 1;
i.height = 1;
document.body.appendChild(i);
nm_createCookie('nm_belgacom_bt',
escape('tv1=bun_intvtel;tv2=;tv3=;phone1=hbs_discoveryline;phone2=hbs_classical_line;phone3=;inet1=bun_nettvmob;inet2=hbs_adsl_res_plus;inet3=hbs_adsl_res_go;nm_banner=;nm_popin=hbs_discoveryline;'),183);
How can I solve this issue?

You can appendChild to document.body but not if the document hasn't been loaded. So you should
put everything in:
window.onload=function(){
//your code
This works or you can make appendChild to be dependent on something else like another event for eg.

As a matter of fact you can try changing the innerHTML of the document.body it works...!
In 2019 you can use querySelector for that.
It's supported by most browsers (https://caniuse.com/#search=querySelector)
document.querySelector('body').appendChild(i);
var elem = document.createElement("div");
elem.style = "width:100px;height:100px;position:relative;background:#FF0000;";
document.documentElement.appendChild(elem);
If your script is inside head tag in html file, try to put it inside body tag.
CreateElement while script is inside head tag will give you a null warning
<title></title>
</head>
<h1>Game</h1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</body>
