No style field on Element

[mnordine]

import 'package:web/web.dart';

void main() {
  document.querySelector('a')?.style.visiblity = 'visible';
}

The getter `style` is not defined for the type `Element`.

It looks like querySelector() returns an Element; you'll want to cast that to an HTMLElement (and, visiblity => visibility).

Should I have to? Should it returnHTMLElement? Why does web have Element at all?

We're following the IDL here, which is "law". Avoiding guess work here is good.

I still don't understand why you have Element and use it in places, when there is HTMLElement from the IDL? That's my point.

@mnordine – can you link to the IDL? I don't think we're messing this up (it's all very automated).

[mnordine]

I don't know where exactly, it just seems like you now have HTMLElement, but you're still somehow using Element in places, such as the above?

OK, thanks. I was confused because I didn't realize there actually was HTMLElement and Element in the IDL.
