getContext error using chartjs

I am following this tutorial [chart.js][1] and I get this error and this line 

var ctx = $("#myChart").get(0).getContext("2d");

where $("#myChart") stands for <figure id="myChart" class="chart"></figure>

throws this error 

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLElement> has no method 'getContext'
Solution

  • Ok, you have to use this instead 

    <canvas id="myChart" class="chart"></canvas>
