deleteAll not working in Internet Explorer about typewriterjs HOT 9 CLOSED

It is because .remove() function is not supported by IE.
You can use jquery or augmenting native DOM functions instead.
@tameemsafi I can take a look at this issue if you want me to.

For me the problem (or some other?) still exists. When using .deleteChars(x) IE11 gives me the following error:
"Uncaught Type: Cannot Read Property RemoveChild of Null"

This problem does not exist in version 2.5.0 but does in 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. Hope this helps.

@realgs that would be great if you can do that and make a pull request

Yes, that's it. I could fix it in my project by adding the dom4 polyfill.

You can also import from corejs library.

I wanted to test my solution before PR, how do you run your project? There are no instructions in readme.md. Which local server do you use?

I tried building the project with yarn run build:dev and then running live-server on chained-example but there's a 404 error on dist/core.js file. From google I can suppose it might be related to Grunt. If I manually copy the dist/core.js file to examples/chained-example/ and link it adequately everything works fine.

@realgs You need to use some sort of server. I would recommend http-server on npm and then run that command on the main repo directory locally. That way you will have access to localhost:8080/examples folder.

Also I fixed the issue now in v2.5.0. I just imported a polyfill for node.remove.

I am also facing the problem, that too many characters are deleted when using .deleteChars() in the second loop run.

See here dev.pds.ultrabold.de. it runs 4 sentences but when running the second time it deletes the whole sentence instead of just a few words (as expected).

I also tested deleteChars(#) as well as adding DOM4 to polyfill. Unfortunately neither methods worked for me and the bug still occurs for IE11.
