Description

  • I am running the latest version
  • I checked the documentation and found no answer
  • I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

Explanation

Everything works fine on cordova(android) and all web browsers like chrome,safari an so on. But on Cordova Ios i have problem with the function parseHTML.

  • What is happening instead? It doesn't add the tag
  • What error message are you getting? TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'doc.body.firstElementChild') in this line of the library tagify.js: return new DOMParser().parseFromString(t.trim(), "text/html").body.firstElementChild;

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the behavior of DOMParser in iOS WKWebView. The error 'null is not an object (evaluating 'doc.body.firstElementChild')' suggests that the parsed HTML document has no body element. Check if the HTML string provided is valid and if the DOMParser is fully supported in the Cordova iOS WebView. Consider using alternative methods like creating a hidden iframe or using innerHTML on a temporary element.
