How to set borders and other styles of a plugin object from JSAPI side?

Question

I have this::

FB::DOM::ElementPtr _element=m_host->getDOMWindow()->getDocument()->getBody()->getElementById("plugin0");

I got the element(i.e. object tag of the plugin that i wanted) by ID. It's compiling. I now want to SET its property from the JSAPI side...like border color style and width.... I went through this page . I could find only 1 method "setInnerHtml"...which sets something. What should i pass in its argument...?it has std::string type...so that I can manipulate the plugin's document. Any ideas... Basically I want to set the attribute of a tag from PluginAPI side.....

Honestly? You'd be much better off putting the plugin in a div at 100%x100% and then managing the border of the div. For something like this I'd probably just use:

m_host->evaluateJavascript("document.getElementById('pluginCont').style.border = '1px solid black';");

That'll be the easiest. You could also look at the DOM abstraction code and add some tools for managing CSS; note that on IE you may need to use special activex methods to do this, which is why I dont' recommend just doing it through getDOMElement() (which is a shorthand, btw, for the long code you have in your example)
