What about IE8 e.g. IE9 ?
IE7 is old and shouldn't be used anymore.

IE’s update progress is slow, so IE7 is bound to be around for some time.

Are you sure that document.getElementById("id") exists in the first place? That might be the problem. Try this piece of code:

alert(document.getElementById("id"));
alert(document.getElementById("id").tagName);

Believe it or not, people are still using IE6 although it's generally accepted that you can get away without supporting this browser now. IE7 you should definitely still code to support.
