Hi August,
I imagine the code you posted is a trimmed-down version of some other code, because as is, it contains multiple problems: it never prints any element onto the page, there is no newButton commands corresponding to the getButton commands, and the TextInput and Button elements share the same IDs.
From what you describe, there’s probably still an element printed onto the page, possibly a transparent Canvas. Try using the clear command between the two tasks, it should remove all elements on the page at that point
