Describe the issue you're experiencing

Whenever my full-page Livewire component re-renders (such as submitting a form), the client-side DOM morph crashes with Uncaught TypeError: els2 is not iterable. This happens because Alpine's morph algorithm tries to inspect child nodes on elements (void elements with no children) when they have id attributes assigned.

Code snippets to reproduce the issue

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: els2 is not iterable
    at context.keyToMap (livewire.js:14750:22)
    at context.patchChildren (livewire.js:14602:30)
blade
<form wire:submit="search">
    <!-- Notice the id="..." attribute on the input -->
    <input type="date" id="check_in" wire:model="check_in" />
    <button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>
php
public function search(): void {}

public function render()
{
    return view('livewire.search');
}

Screenshots/screen recordings

No response

How do you expect it to work?

When I click search the property should displayed without any javascript error, on the issue tab.

Clicking Search triggers TypeError: els2 is not iterable during the DOM morph. Removing id="check_in" prevents the crash.

Temporary Workaround

Adding wire:ignore to the parent <form> avoids the morph crash while preserving wire:model and wire:submit functionality[cite: 1].

Suggested Fix

Guard keyToMap against non-iterable/null inputs or skip patchChildren for void HTML elements (e.g., <input>, <img>, <br>) inside @alpinejs/morph.
