1. Introduction

This is a Javascript implementation of XBL 2.0 specification
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xbl/). The implementation is not complete
yet. Check the status of the implementation from XBL_Status.html.
The implementation has been tested with Firefox 2.0.


2. Installation

The following files are needed:

- xblImpl.js
- BoundElement.js
- cssQuery-p.js

Include them to your bound document. For example, in HTML:

	<script type="text/javascript" src="xblImpl.js"/>

etc.

3. Running

Call runXBL() -function in a bound document for instance
on onload-event or whenever you want to apply the bindings. For more
specific information, see an XBL example from the demo folder.
