Bob, Things to check:

Is this all happening on the UI thread or not?
What's the inner exception or exception message you are getting?
You may need to check HtmlPage.IsEnabled, your plugin may be coming from a different domain or otherwise disabled HTML access.

Let me know how it goes...

Any idea why I can’t add set operations to these methods without throwing an InvalidOperationException on SetProperty like the example below for ClientWidth? Thanks for some great code.

set
{
if (AvailableScreenWidth > value)
{
if (_isNavigator)
{
HtmlPage.Window.SetProperty(“innerWidth”, value);
}
else
{
{
HtmlPage.Document.Body.SetProperty(“clientWidth”, value);
}
}
}
}

Thanks, this was incredibly helpful! It plugged right into the RTM version, and saved me a lot of mussing around in JavaScript.
