How to avoid typescript error: Property 'innerHTML' does not exist on type 'Element'

Question

I\'m trying to place some HTML inside a specific div. When I try this in typescript I get this error: Property \'innerHTML\' does not exist on type \'Element\'

Answer 1

Use a type assertion to placate the compiler:

let myContainer =  document.querySelector("#myDiv");
myContainer.innerHTML = '
Test
';
