Slider
Description of a <slider> tag. XUL already has one as part of the scrollbar but it needs a useful API and theme styling (especially native-theme styling). (NeilRashbrook) Note that the Mac still uses native scrollbars.
Link
Widget similar to HTML <a> element. Currently this can be/is implemented in a rather ugly way (in Extension Manager code): styling the label element in a special way + making it focusable and implementing oncommand/onkeypress.
Answering NeilRashbrook's question, <html:a> can't be used as is because:
- it isn't even visible when used used as
<html:a href="about:">some text</html:a> - not styled properly, if you get it to show by enclosing it in a <html:p> tags
- and opening the link in the same (often chrome) window when clicked.
