    observes

    « XUL Reference home [ Examples | Attributes | Properties | Methods | Related ]

    The observes element can be used to listen to a broadcaster and receive events and attributes from it. The observes element should be placed inside the element that wants to observe the broadcaster. When an observed attribute is modified on the broadcaster, the attribute's value will be forwarded and set on the parent element of the observer.

    More information is available in the XUL tutorial.
