Data-Bound Properties
Some components have properties which allow their behavior and appearance to be controlled at run-time by a servlet. These are called data-bound properties. They only appear on components that have been inserted into a template, as they serve no purpose on a static HTML page.

Events
Some components handle some browser events using client-side JavaScript. Events handled by a given component are listed with that component.

Target Window
Some components provide hypertext links to load other URLs or call servlets. These components can display the resulting page in the current window or in another window or frame by setting the Target property.
