Cannot read property 'getContext' of null even after putting canvas before script

All I want to do is start using the canvas but I continue to get this error. I have seen many people telling others to put the canvas tags before the script tags and I have done this and it hasn't fixed the problem. HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Cross Stats Graph</title>
</head>
<body>
    <canvas> id="chart" width="720" height="720"</canvas>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="sketch.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Javascript:

var canvas = document.getElementById("chart").getContext("2d");

You're id is not in the html tag

<canvas id="chart" width="720" height="720"></canvas>

Should fix your problem
