That's how it's implemented, try this in a console: new VTTCue(0,0,'<lang en>j').getCueAsHTML().firstChild // HTMLSpanElement Other than spelling out the specific types where they exist, is there any other way to clarify this? 119718 2 zcorpan 2015-04-21 10:29:14 +0000 Let's see. I thought HTMLElement was in fact the correct interface for all these elements, but it turns out <span> should indeed be HTMLSpanElement. We should fix it. WebVTT Class Object HTMLElement element node with localName "span". WebVTT Voice Object HTMLElement element node with localName "span", and a title attribute set to the WebVTT Voice Object's value. WebVTT Language Object HTMLElement element node with localName "span", and a lang attribute set to the WebVTT Language Object's applicable language. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-span-element These should be HTMLSpanElement. WebVTT Italic Object HTMLElement element node with localName "i". https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-i-element Correct as is. WebVTT Bold Object HTMLElement element node with localName "b". https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-b-element Correct as is. WebVTT Underline Object HTMLElement element node with localName "u". https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-u-element Correct as is. WebVTT Ruby Object HTMLElement element node with localName "ruby". https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-ruby-element Correct as is. WebVTT Ruby Text Object HTMLElement element node with localName "rt". https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-rt-element Correct as is. 120777 3 silviapfeiffer1 2015-06-07 07:58:20 +0000 (In reply to Simon Pieters from comment #2) > Let's see.

Objects of that type are still also of the HTMLElement type, I would think. 125168 4 zcorpan 2016-02-19 21:22:11 +0000 (This was fixed in https://github.com/w3c/webvtt/commit/010695fd0b9527bf606256a846633eaa66da9e94 ) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 22154 *** 127726 5 singer 2016-10-11 17:52:43 +0000 HTMLElement no longer mentioned,
