Deprecation of document.registerElement in Chrome

[philipstratfordParticipant]

When running our application which uses jQWidgets version 6.0.5, the Chrome Dev Tools Console continually shows the following warning:

jqx-all.js:17 [Deprecation] document.registerElement is deprecated and will be removed in M73, around March 2019. Please use window.customElements.define instead. See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/4642138092470272 for more details.

I hoped that version 6.0.5 would have fixed this but it seems that it hasn’t. Is a future version planned which will remove the use of document.registerElement ahead of Google’s planned removal of support for the command?

Unless you use jQWidgets Custom Elements, this should not affect you. We are working on moving our Custom Elements offering to Custom Element v1 standards and there we will use the newer API. document.registerElement can still be used with webcomponents.js polyfills the way it is shown on our website.

Regards,
Peter
