When working with HTML Components (introduced in IE 5.5), some documents like to talk about a primary document and a document fragment. A primary document is an HTML file that the user opens with a browser. A document fragment is a document defined in an HTC file, that is linked to a primary document by using the viewLink feature. A document fragment is also called HTML Component, DHTML Behavior, and Namespace.

There are two ways to establish a link between a primary document and a document fragment. Using JavaScript, you need to place the following statement within a script in the HTC file:

defaults.viewLink = document;

A ViewLink can also be established in HTML. The following statement will automatically link the root element of the document fragment in the HTC file to the master element in the primary document:

<PUBLIC:DEFAULTS viewLinkContent/>

or:

<PUBLIC:DEFAULTS viewLinkContnet></PUBLIC:DEFAULTS>
