Opening html file has javascript error: docelement has no properties

Question

This error message pops up when opening some of my html files in a Dreamweaver site:

While executing onLoad, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 75 of file "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Freamweaver 2020\Configuration\Commands\Date_beforeSave.htm":

docElement has no properties

Using Dreamweaver cc 2020 I navigated and opened the htm file. The code at line 75 is:

    allText = docElement.outerHTML; // re-fetch

I barely keep up with ccs code, but really don't know what's wrong with the java code here or is it something in the site html file that I am opening that is having a problem with this java code? This file with line 75 seems to be doing something with checking save dates.

Attached a screen shot of several code lines before and after line 75.
