Hey Team,

I’m very very new to Velo, and have run into an issue with the typical JS/DOM JQuery stuff i usually do,
Attempting to use this

var dataform = document.createElement("form");
document.body.appendChild(dataform);

In both instances of Document, i get this error, which im sure is a very known/newbie thing to get around.

Cannot find name ‘document’. Do you need to change your target library? Try changing the ‘lib’ compiler option to include ‘dom’.

If anyone can enlighten me on a direction/documentation page on doing something like this, in the Velo Way.

Thanks

You cannot manipulate DOM elements like document, body, header, without using a custom element.

on this where is the documentation for creating custom elements and rendering?
