HTML Components

HTML Components (HTCs) are a mechanism to implement components in script as Dynamic HTML (DHTML) "behaviors". [ [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms531018.aspx Introduction to DHTML Behaviors] ] . Such files typically use a .htc extension.

HTC is typically an HTML file (with Javascript/VBScript) and a set elements that define the component. This helps to organize behavior encapsulated script modules that can be attached to parts of a Webpage DOM.

Example

• Foo Foo Foo

In this example, the LI element is given the behavior defined by "hilite.htc" (a file that contains Javascript code defining highlight/lowlight actions on mouse over. The same hilite.htc can then be given to any element in the HTML page - thus encapsulating the behavior defined by this file.
