Parse.initialize("APPID", "JAVASCRIPTCODE");
var currentUser = Parse.User.current().get("FirstName");
document.getElementById("fname").value = currentUser;

The problem is that you're accessing the element before it is added into DOM.

You can wrap the last statement in DOMContentLoaded

The DOMContentLoaded event is fired when the document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading (the load event can be used to detect a fully-loaded page).

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
    document.getElementById("fname").value = fname;
});

Or, you can also move your <script> at the end of <body> tag.
