How to avoid typescript error: Property 'innerHTML' does not exist on type 'Element'
Use a type assertion to placate the compiler:
let myContainer = <HTMLElement> document.querySelector("#myDiv");
myContainer.innerHTML = '<h1>Test</h1>';
In future versions of TypeScript, it should not be necessary to do the casting. I've sent a pull request to fix the issue:
