coolbar Behavior

Adds a dynamic toolbar control to the document.

Syntax

XML <Prefix:CustomTag ID=sID STYLE="behavior:url('coolbar.htc')" />

HTML <ELEMENT STYLE="behavior:url('coolbar.htc')" ID=sID>

Scripting object.style.behavior = "url('coolbar.htc')"

object.addBehavior ("coolbar.htc")

XML	<Prefix:CustomTag ID=sID STYLE="behavior:url('coolbar.htc')" />
HTML	<ELEMENT STYLE="behavior:url('coolbar.htc')" ID=sID>
Scripting	object.style.behavior = "url('coolbar.htc')"
object.addBehavior ("coolbar.htc")

Possible Values

Prefix Prefix used to associate CustomTag with a namespace. This prefix is set using the XMLNS attribute of the HTML element.

CustomTag User-defined tag.

sID String that uniquely identifies the object.

Members

coolbar Members

Remarks

The behavior-defined members listed in the preceding table are not accessible through script until the window.onload event fires. Waiting for this event to fire ensures that the page is completely loaded, that all behaviors have been applied to corresponding elements on the page, and, consequently, that all the behavior's properties, methods, and events are available for scripting. Attempting to use any of the behavior-defined members will result in a scripting error indicating that the object does not support that particular member.

The coolbar behavior is used in conjunction with the coolbutton behavior.

The coolbar behavior inserts a toolbar into a Web page, populated with coolbuttons. Toolbars are a familiar interface for users. The coolbar behavior applies effects (3-D border, colored text, colored image) and supports ToolTips to bring each button to life.

Using form controls within the coolbar is not recommended because the mouse events captured for the coolbar behavior might interfere with access to the form controls.

The coolbar.htc file can be downloaded from the coolbar sample page.

In addition to the members and styles previously listed, the coolbar behavior supports:

background
margin
padding
