element Object
Returns the element to which the behavior is attached.
Remarks
All properties, methods, and events of the element are accessible to an HTML Component (HTC) using this object, or by using the property, method, or event name directly and not prefixing the name with the element keyword.
Example
This example uses a behavior to implement a table of contents that expands and collapses when the user clicks it. The HTC attaches to the element's onmouseover event and sets the color property of the element to red. The color of the element can be toggled through the style property of the element directly, instead of referring to it as element.style.
The HTC also sets the cursor property to "hand" to signal the user that the element can be clicked to toggle visibility of its children.
<PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="onmouseover" ONEVENT="Hilite" /> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript"> var prevColor; function Hilite() { prevColor = style.color; element.style.color = "red"; element.style.cursor = "hand"; } </SCRIPT>
