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

1. let myContainer = document.querySelector("#myDiv") as HTMLElement;

2. let myContainer = document.querySelector("#myDiv");

3. let myContainer : HTMLElement = document.querySelector("#myDiv");

Parse your element like this and you should be able to insert whatever you want in it.
