Attributes

Example

mkButton :: String -> UI Element
mkButton label =
  do button <- mkElement "input"
     button # set (attr "type") "button"
     button # set (attr "value") label
     return button

Event handlers

Example

counterExample w =
  do input <- mkElement "input"
     button <- mkButton "Increment"
     getBody w #+ [element input,element button]
     let incr _ = do s <- input # get value
                     let v = read s
                     input # set value (show (v+1))
     on click button incr
