I have flagged Why do I have a document.getElementById is Null? as a duplicate.
It's a first question and I really wasn't sure at first, if I should flag it or not because it might be discouraging for a new contributor to get the first question flagged. The question is nicely asked and a code snippet is provided.
But
Why do I have a document.getElementById is Null?
was asked many times before e.g. here: Why does jQuery or a DOM method such as getElementById not find the element?, and it has a good and complete (community wiki) answer matching the problem (element.id spelling mistake) here.
So the question is clearly a duplicate. It has two answers, telling OP exactly, where the typo is and providing working code snippets. To help keeping SO clean and usefull for future readers I decided to flag.
However my flag is shown as disputed in my flagging history.
On this post (How to deal with a disputed duplicate flag that is a real duplicate) is stated
your next recourse would be asking about it on meta
So that's what I do. Should I refrain from flagging first posts or is there something else I overlooked?
