Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null(…) in a JavaScript function
<p>This method is part of a module; And despite the error...</p>

<p><code>Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null(…)</code> </p>

<p>works to a small degree, however it appears to have blocked an additional method on the module.</p>

<p>This is a <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/718BkQns/1xomL42r/7/" rel="noreferrer">fiddle</a> which contains the whole module.</p>

<p>Can one explain what the error means in context to my Module, can't seem to understand it.</p>

<p>Thanks any help will be appreciated!</p>

<p><strong>Update</strong></p>

<p>This is where the error is occurring:</p>

<pre><code>var domain=link.href.match(/(https?:\/\/.+?)\//)[1];
</code></pre>
