/TypeScript/Property "'element'" does not exist on type 'htmlelement'.ts(2339)

Property "'element'" does not exist on type 'htmlelement'.ts(2339)

Property 'value' does not exist on type 'HTMLElement'.

document.getElementById() returns the type HTMLElement which does not contain a value property.
The subtype HTMLInputElement does however contain the value property.

So a solution is to cast the result of getElementById() to HTMLInputElement like this:

var inputValue = (<HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById(elementId)).value;
<> is the casting operator in typescript.
See TypeScript: casting HTMLElement: https://fireflysemantics.medium.com/casting-htmlelement-to-htmltextareaelement-in-typescript-f047cde4b4c3

The resulting javascript from the line above looks like this:

inputValue = (document.getElementById(elementId)).value;
i.e. containing no type information.

Property 'on' does not exist on type 'HTMLElement'.

To prevent this error you can write:

var plotDiv: any = document.getElementById('myDiv');
plotDiv.on('plotly_relayout', ...
document.getElementById('myDiv') return HTMLElement. This type doesn't contain method
on because this method is added within plotly-latest.min.js. So in order to silence
the typescript warning you can explicity say compile not to check types for plotDiv

Another way is create type definition like:

interface PlotHTMLElement extends HTMLElement  {
  on(eventName: string, handler: Function): void;
}

var plotDiv  = <PlotHTMLElement>document.getElementById('myDiv')
plotDiv.on('plotly_relayout', function() {

});

Property "'element'" does not exist on type 'htmlelement'.ts(2339)

// For getting `.elements` with forms you need to cast as:
// `HTMLFormElement`

const form = document.getElementById('my-id') as HTMLFormElement;
