=What is WBL?= XBL (eXtensible Bindings Language) ==A XML language that used for declaring the behavior of XUL widgets.XBL describing a set of bindings that can be attached to bound elements. The binding implements new methods and properties to the bound element.We can use XUL to define the layout of userinterface, then we can use BXL to change the pieces of the function.
For Example: Create a window box by UXLXBL stands for eXtensible Bindings Language, then we attach OK/Cancel buttons in which is an XML language that is used for declaring the boxbehavious of XUL widgets.
<PRE>XUL (example.xul):=What Does XBL Do?=
Basically, XBL is a langauge that describes a set of bindings that can be attached and bound to elements on the screen. When bound, the binding implements new methods and properties to the associated element. In essence, the widgets on the screen are layed out using XUL and then given functionality using XBL.

In this example, we can use XUL to define the layout of user interface and then use XBL to change the widgets functionality. <br/><br/>
 
Here is the XUL Code that lays out the widgets:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://example/skin/example.css" type="text/css"?>
<window xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<box class="okcancelbuttons"/>
</window>
</pre>
This lays out an interface with the buttons for OK and Cancel. To give these buttons functionality, XBL (example.xml)is used:<pre>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl" xmlns:xul="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<binding id="okcancel">
<content>
</binding>
</bindings>
