var grbData = $.ajax({
        type : \"GET\",
        url : \"http://grb.sonoma.edu:81/getg

You are most likely having problems because you are trying to access elements of the page before the HTML has been completely received (or parsed) by the browser. Ensure that you have waited for the page to finish loading before trying to modify the page. The first call to your ajax method should probably occur at the onload event, or be triggered by the onload event to happen at a later time.
