When I create a simple HTML Element,

var div = document.createElement('div');

I am unable to set the type attribute.

div.setAttribute('type', 'whatever');

Will LockerService someday support that?

  • No official, but it would support these except some actionable attributes like onclick , onchange

  • No error is thrown by Locker. It says it's not supported and will be ignored.

  • If you can screenshot exact error its not hard to trace it back here github.com/forcedotcom/aura/blob/master/aura-impl/src/main/… . The docs show this must be supported but we can dig in

    The exact error is WARNING: SecureElement: [object HTMLDivElement]{ key: {"namespace":"c"} } does not allow getting/setting the type attribute, ignoring!. I know why it's not working, LockerService code is not that huge, but they don't accept any PRs so I cannot fix it myself.

type isn't a standard attribute on HTMLDivElement. LockerService will ignore these non-standard attribute names, with some exceptions. Anything with a dash in the name, for example, is allowed to accommodate data-* and 3rd party attributes like ng-*.
