Typescript Form reset () not working
I am using typescript to reset the form but it doesn't work, or the typescript compiler (version 1.0.3) doesn't recognize the reset () function. The compiler gives an error
Build: Interface 'HTMLFormElement' incorrectly extends interface 'HTMLElement'. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.4\lib.d.ts
This is the typescript code
var resetForm =document.getElementById(dirtyFormID);
resetForm.reset();
When I copied the code above to the js file, it works great.
What is the reason for this?

Note what document.getElementById
returns HTMLElement
(as already said here). You have to impose HTMLElement
onHTMLFormElement
The casting should look like this:
var resetForm:HTMLFormElement;
resetForm= <HTMLFormElement>document.getElementById('your form id');
if(resetForm)
resetForm.reset();
