Layout Managers

XUL provides three widgets for controlling the layout of child elements. The <deck> is a container for any number of child elements that can be accessed as indexed items, one at a time, via JavaScript and the DOM. The <stack element is similar, but its children appear at the same time, and are interpolated together (see the example on the stack page). <bulletinboard displays all of its children at once, but it allows you to position child elements using positioning attributes on the child elements and sizing attributes on the bulletinboard itself.
