Because you're doing it wrong. Your error is at line 15.

Whenever you suspect a bug in a javascript/host implementation (or any
other system that people have been using for years), it's your job to
show that the bug is really there. Since you haven't done that, I'm
going to assume the bug is really in your own code. Show the actual
code, and we can probably find the actual problem.
