Element.html gives an error

What steps will reproduce the problem?

import('dart:html');

main() {
  String a = "foo";
  DivElement myDiv = new Element.html("<div>" + a + "</div>");
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect a div with the appropriate text node attached. Instead I get:

/home/jeffbailey/Programming/gclienttree/dart/dart/client/html/release/html.dart:23638:10: warning: can not resolve "innerHTML" on "Element"
    temp.innerHTML = html;
         ^^^^^^^^^
/home/jeffbailey/Programming/gclienttree/dart/dart/client/html/release/html.dart:23646:40: warning: can not resolve "children" on "Element"
      return LevelDom.wrapElement(temp.children.item(tag == 'head' ? 0 : 1));
                                       ^^^^^^^^

        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

Running on a Goobuntu Laptop.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is a reduced test case. It shows more errors than I get in my actual program. The first two are the same, though.

Can you try passing the "--compile-only --out=myapp.js" flag?

By default "frogsh" will try to run the code on the command line (similar to "python" "irb" "node" etc). And so it's not surprising that it doesn't find "window", since it's not running in a browser :)

Once you compile to "myapp.js", add that file to an HTML page and you should be good to go.

frog.py has a "--html" option that might do what you want--it generates an HTML page that references the script, and then opens a browser), but I haven't tried it in a while. And we haven't rolled that option into frogsh yet.

There's also the "htmlconverter.py" script for packaging up your HTML and generated JS code. We used that a lot for our Swarm sample. I don't recall offhand the exact command line arguments, but if you take a look at that script you can probably get it working.

I did use those options:

jeffbailey@cirrostratus:~/Programming/gittree/nethack-nacl/sys/nacl$ cat test.dart
#import('dart:html');

main() {
  String a = "foo";
  DivElement myDiv = new Element.html("<div>" + a + "</div>");
}
jeffbailey@cirrostratus:/Programming/gittree/nethack-nacl/sys/nacl$ rtest.^C
jeffbailey@cirrostratus:/Programming/gittree/nethack-nacl/sys/nacl$ frogsh --compile-only --out=myapp.js test.dart
/home/jeffbailey/Programming/gclienttree/dart/dart/client/html/release/html.dart:23638:10: warning: can not resolve "innerHTML" on "Element"
    temp.innerHTML = html;
         ^^^^^^^^^
/home/jeffbailey/Programming/gclienttree/dart/dart/client/html/release/html.dart:23646:40: warning: can not resolve "children" on "Element"
      return LevelDom.wrapElement(temp.children.item(tag == 'head' ? 0 : 1));
                                       ^^^^^^^^
jeffbailey@cirrostratus:~/Programming/gittree/nethack-nacl/sys/nacl$

This is also a reduced test case from an app that I'm otherwise writing that is also using those options.
