Can I set an instance property in Javascript on a Scriptable Member property in Silverlight?



I have the following (2) 'ScriptableMember' types in my Silverlight control:







<ScriptableMember()>

Public Property MType As MyCustomType



<ScriptableMember()>

Public Property Message As String







The purpose here is obviously to allow exposure via the HTML bridge in Javascript. Calling the 'Message' property is trivial and works perfectly like below:







var SLControl = document.getElementById("SilverlightControl");

SLControl.Content.MyRegisteredControl.Message = 'Hello';







However I am having trouble setting the values of an instance property by drilling down to its properties in JS. The code I would think should be as below:







SLControl.Content.MyRegisteredControl.MType.Name = 'John';







Notice how I added in the 'MType' and then accessed one of its Public Properties named 'Name'. The MyCustomType class has all the appropriate 'ScriptableMember' atributes as required.





However when that line above is ran I get the following error:





"Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method"





It works just fine on the assignment of 'Message'. Is it possible in JS to drill down through an instance property and assign its variables? If so do I have the JS incorrect, or what do I need to do to fix this. Thanks!

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
