    shareOperation.data.getHtmlFormatAsync().then(function (html) {
        if (html !== null) {
            var htmlFragment = Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.HtmlFormatHelper.getStaticFragment(htmlFormat);

            // Set the innerHTML of the ifram to the HTML fragment.
            var iFrame = document.getElementById("htmlContent");
            iFrame.style.display = "";
            iFrame.contentDocument.documentElement.innerHTML = htmlFragment;
        } 
    });

    // Loop through any images and use the resourceMap to map each image element's src.
    var images = iFrame.contentDocument.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("img");
    if (images.length > 0) {
        shareOperation.data.getResourceMapAsync().done(function (resourceMap) {
            if (resourceMap.size > 0) {
                for (var i = 0, len = images.length; i < len; i++) {
                    var streamReference = resourceMap[images[i].getAttribute("src")];
                    if (streamReference) {
                        // Call a helper function to map the image element's src to a corresponding blob URL generated from the streamReference
                        setResourceMapURL(streamReference, images[i]);
                    }
