elm-html: unable so set background-color or a <div>?

[Do Bi]

Hi,

while playing around with elm-html I was unable to set the background color of a <div> element.
My code is as follows: http://www.share-elm.com/sprout/53ce57f0e4b07afa6f9831e7
Since share-elm can not execute it (yet?), here is a screenshot or the result: http://i.imgur.com/VbvoSVt.png
The background stays white. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Hi Tobias,

Perhaps "background-color" is not the JavaScript name for the CSS property? See the docs of the node function, where it says: All HTML attributes and CSS properties must be set using the JavaScript version of their name, so class becomes className, float becomes cssFloat, etc.

Yes, you are right. In Javascript it is backgroundColor. I used background-color because that is how it is shown in the announcement.
However also with backgroundColor it still does not work.

[Jeff Smits]

Then the announcement should be changed.
And I have no idea if you have found a bug or not.

I believe it is a bug. I have observed this as well, but did not want to block on it. Would you open an issue on the repo and bring in @Matt-Esch who will actually know what's going on in virtual-dom (where the problem may originate)?

[Evan Czaplicki]

The workaround is to set that kind of thing in CSS for now.

OK, done: https://github.com/elm-lang/Elm/issues/695

Cool, thank you, and sorry for the trouble!
