Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property type of #<HTMLSelectElement> which has only a getter about virtual-dom HOT 8 CLOSED

Does this happen in 0.16 as well? If so, what do you propose as the fix?

from virtual-dom.

Doesn't happen with 0.16, I discovered my mistake in this package while migrating it to 0.17 (it wasn't triggering any runtime error in 0.16)

from virtual-dom.

It looks like the new and old libraries are doing exactly the same things. As far as I can tell, both are doing:

var node = document.createElement('select');
node['type'] = 'checkbox';

I guess something is happening in between those two things. I looked at all the fields in node and there are definitely fewer in the new one. I don't really understand how or why.

That could be related to strict mode and browser versions, I'm investigating.

Edit: re-checked 0.16 version, confirm it doesn't raise error for same Chrome version. So it's probably due to a strictness context change around this call?

This still throws a runtime exception in 0.18. I updated OP to reflect this.

Tracking in #106 which is for any type_ issues.

Please continue discussion here if there is more information to share. The point of the meta issue is to do some organizing and editorializing that makes it easier to make progress on this sort of thing.

It is an even sillier mistake on my part, but I accidentally left a class attribute from Html.Attributes in an svg element. I am using 0.19.1.
