    Try this:

    var elem = document.getElementById("splash");
elem.style.display= 'none';

    does your element have class name?

    If your element does truly exist, then the problem is most likely that you are referencing your js file in a <script> tag in the body of your html before the element itself. You need to make sure that the script tag is placed at the complete bottom of the <body> tag after the element you have defined. Another way is to put the script tag in the html head tag and add a simple property of defer="true". Lastly, if you do not want to do that, simply in your js just do a window.onload = () => { //write all your code here } and with that function when you console.log() the element, it would have loaded.
