XBL Attribute Inheritance - Archive of obsolete content
for example: xul: <searchbox/> xbl: <binding id="searchbinding"> <content> <xul:textbox/> <xul:button label="search"/> </content> </binding> in the example, the label attribute has been placed directly on the button element.
...in this case, it would be preferable if the attribute could be specified on the searchbox instead.
...<xul:textbox xbl:inherits="flex"/> <xul:button xbl:inherits="label"/> when the content is generated, the textbox grabs the flex attribute from the searchbox and the button grabs the label attribute from the searchbox.
...in addition, changing the value of the attributes on the searchbox with a script will update the textbox and button also.

MSCandidateWindowShow - Web APIs
example in ie11, developers can detect the opening of the ime candidate window by listening to mscandidatewindowshow event, then call getcandidatewindowclientrect() function to find out where the candidate window is and position the suggestion ui away from it: var context = document.getelementbyid("mysearchbox").msgetinputcontext(); context.addeventlistener("mscandidatewindowshow", candidatewindowshowhandler); function candidatewindowshowhandler(e) { var imerect = context.getcandidatewindowclientrect(); var suggestionrect = document.getelementbyid("mysuggestionlist").getboundingclientrect(); // check if the two rects intersect, and position them away from each other.
