Attributes:

Attributes inherited from XUL Element


accesskey

This should be set to a letter that is used as a shortcut key. This letter should be one of the characters that appears in the label text for the grippy. This letter will typically be drawn underlined, although this behavior will be platform and skin specific. When the user presses ALT (or a similar key that varies on each platform) and the access key, the grippy will be activated from anywhere in the window.

crop

If the label of the grippy is too small to fit in its given space, the text will be cropped on the side specified by the crop attribute. An ellipsis will be placed in place of the cropped text.

default

This attribue can be set to either true or false. If true, then this element becomes the default for the window. Usually, this would be set to true for the OK button and set to false, or left out entirely, for all other buttons. Only one button per window should have the default value set to true.

disabled

If this attribute is set to true, the grippy is disabled. This is usually drawn with the text in grey. If the grippy is disabled, the function of the button cannot be performed. The value may also be set to false for a regular active button. If this attribute is left out entirely, the button is enabled.

flex

Indicates the flexibility of the grippy. Flexible elements grow and shrink to fit their given space. The actual value is not relevant unless there are other flexible elements with-in the same container. Elements with larger flex values will grow more than elements with lower flex values, at the ratio determined by the two elements.

height

The height of the grippy in pixels. It is recommended to use the CSS height property instead.

orient

Used to specify whether the children of the grippy element are oriented horizontally or vertically.

src

The URL of the image to appear on the grippy. If this is attribute is left out, no image appears.

value

The label that will appear on the grippy. If this is left out, no text appears.

width

The width of the grippy in pixels. It is recommended to use the CSS width property instead.
