Typescript: error: Property 'innnerHTML' does not exist on type 'Element'

Created on 23 Nov 2015  路  8Comments  路  Source: microsoft/TypeScript

I am getting this error with v1.6.3 with the following code:

document.querySelector('body>section.container').innerHTML  // error: TS2339

To remedy it, I had to explicitly cast it as HTMLElement:

(<HTMLElement>document.querySelector('body>section.container')).innerHTML  // it works!

However, innerHTML is supported by Element interface:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/innerHTML.
