Using HTML Components (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
HTML Component (HTC) provides a mechanism to implement components in script as dynamic HTML (DHTML) behaviors. An HTC file, which has an .htc extension, is an HTML file that contains script and a set of HTC-specific elements that define the component.
HTC Objects
The following table shows the HTC objects that are implemented in Internet Explorer 6 for Windows Embedded CE:
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
document |
Represents the HTML document in a given browser window. |
element |
Returns a reference to the tag in the primary document to which the behavior is attached. |
PUBLIC:ATTACH |
Binds a function to an event so that the function is called when the event raises on the specified object. |
PUBLIC:COMPONENT |
Identifies the content of the file as HTC. |
PUBLIC:DEFAULTS |
Sets default properties for an HTC. |
PUBLIC:EVENT |
Defines an event of the HTC to be exposed to the containing document. |
PUBLIC:METHOD |
Defines a method of the HTC to be exposed to the containing document. |
PUBLIC:PROPERTY |
Defines a property of the HTC to be exposed to the containing document. |
HTC Events
Calling createEventObject creates an event object that can be used to pass event context information to the PUBLIC:EVENT element's raise method. The following table shows the HTC events that are implemented in Internet Explorer 6:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
oncontentready |
Raises when the content of the element, to which the behavior is attached, is completely parsed. |
oncontentsave |
Raises exactly before the content of an element that is attached to an element behavior is saved or copied. |
ondetach |
Raises before a behavior is detached from an element. |
ondocumentready |
Raises when the behavior's containing document is completely parsed. |
