Attributes

acceltext: Type: string; Text that appears beside beside the menu label to indicate the shortcut key (accelerator key) to use to invoke the command. If this value is set, it overrides an assigned key set in the key attribute. This attribute does not apply to menus directly on the menubar.

accesskey: Type: character; 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 element.

Example

<vbox>	
  <label value="Enter Name" accesskey="e" control="myName"/>
  <textbox id="myName"/>
  <button label="Cancel" accesskey="n"/>
  <button label="Ok" accesskey="O"/>
</vbox>

start: The text will be cropped on its left side.
end: The text will be cropped on its right side.
left: The text will be cropped on its left side.
right: The text will be cropped on its right side.
center: The text will be cropped in the middle, showing both the start and end of the text normally.
none: The text will be not be cropped using an ellipsis. However, the text will simply be cut off if it is too large. The side depends on the CSS text alignment.

disabled: Type: boolean; Indicates whether the element is disabled or not. If this element is set to true the element is disabled. Disabled elements are usually drawn with grayed-out text. If the element is disabled, it does not respond to user actions, it cannot be focused, and the command event will not fire.

<!-- Checkbox enables/disables the button -->
<checkbox label="Enable button" 
    onclick="document.getElementById('buttRemove').disabled = this.checked"/>
<button id="buttRemove" label="Remove All" disabled="true"/>

label: Type: string; The label that will appear on the element. If this is left out, no text appears.
label 在元素上显示。如果左侧出界，则不显示任何文字。

menuactive: Type: boolean; This attribute is set on an item in a menu when it is being hovered over. Typcially, the theme will use this to highlight the item. A DOMMenuItemActive event will be sent to the item when the item is hovered over, and a DOMMenuItemInactive event will be sent to the item when the selection moves away.

open: Type: boolean; For the menu type buttons, the open attribute is set to true when the menu is open. The open attribute is not present if the menu is closed.

sizetopopup

Type: one of the values below

Indicates how the menu width and the menupopup width are determined. If the sizetopopup attribute is left out or set to none, the menu will be its preferred width and the popup may extend outside of this width, unaffected by the maximum width of the menu itself. Otherwise, the menu will size itself to at least the size of the popup. If the menu has a maximum width, the popup will also be this width.

none: The width of the popup will not be constrained to the size of the menu.
pref: The preferred width of the menu label or button will be the size needed for the popup contents. This is the default value for menulists.
always: Both the preferred and minimum width of the menu label or button will be the same as that necessary for the menupopup.

value: Type: string; The string attribute allows you to associate a data value with an element. It is not used for any specific purpose, but you can access it with a script for your own use.

Properties

accessibleType: Type: integer; A value indicating the type of accessibility object for the element.

control: Type: menu element; Returns the enclosing menu that the item is inside, if any, or null if there is no enclosing menu.

itemCount: Type: integer; Read only property holding the number of child items.

menupopup: Type: menupopup element; A reference to the menupopup used by the menu or menulist. This property is read-only.

parentContainer: Type: menu element; Read only property that returns the containing menu element, or null if there isn't a containing menu.

value: Type: string; Gets and sets the value of the value attribute.
