Error when trying to mix Polymer controls with standard html 5 inputs

[jeffthompson1971]

My tech stack is Appgyver Steroids app with Ionic. I'm pulling in the paper elements cuz I like them. BUT not all controls are there, like a date picker. When I put in a standard date input (just html5) when I click it I get an error in polymer. Is there any way I can put a catch in there so it's just ignored? I'd like to be able to co-mingle paper components and just standard html5.

my input:

Date

the error:
[Error] UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_ERR: DOM Events Exception 0: The Event's type was not specified by initializing the event before the method was called.
dispatchEvent ([native code], line 0)
dispatchEvent (platform.js, line 13)

NOTE that I get this error when I attempt to use any form element in same page where i've loaded your platform.js and use paper components.

I also get this error when including Ionic.js in to an Appgyver project. So maybe it's a problem with the Appgyver steroids / supersonic stuff instead?
