Thanks Sander. I actually ended up doing something very similar. So what I have learned is that anything within the HTML Angular Element will obviously have access to the Angular element’s class, properties, services, etc. Anything outside the element in the loaded html page has no access to Angular. One issue that I discovered today is that I have css classes in the Angular HTML Element dependent upon property values set and updated in the Angular Element’s class. The classes don’t seem to be changing upon the property values changing in Angular. So, I assume that I have to change the DOM element’s class from within the Angular Element’s class upon the property value changing?
