parentNode is undefined - IE/Firefox

[mcarey1590]

i traced it to

if (this.parentNode.nodeType == 11) { // DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
          target = ownerRoot.host;
        } else {
          target = this.parentNode;
        }

should be

var parentNode = Polymer.dom(this.parentNode);
if (parentNode.nodeType == 11) { // DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
          target = ownerRoot.host;
        } else {
          target = parentNode;
        }
...

Seeing this as well.

Should the above be var parentNode = Polymer.dom(this).parentNode;, instead?

Making the changes outlined above, I start getting a couple of other various errors relating to either

• target being null
• target not supporting "addEventListener"

... which seems odd - I'm not sure if there's a third potential target here that would be more appropriate.

I wonder if the event bindings that occur in attached() need to be executed via async() to be more like the old "domReady" callback.

I encountered the same error on FF/IE:
TypeError: this.parentNode is null

Same stack trace.

Error generated stops other scripts running correctly, so it is quite annoying.

Also encountered: Firefox 41.0.2

paper-ripple.html.js:411:1

Doesn't happen if I set a breakpoint at the line.

This should be fixed by the re-factoring done in #63. Please re-open if you can still repro this with that code
