The bind element is used within the following other elements:
source
The contentType property
The type of data retrieved from and/or inserted into the database, expressed as a MIME type. For more
information, please see [RFC2046].
The following values are allowed for textual data:
text/plain
Unadorned text. The XFA application may accept content that does not conform strictly to the
requirements of the MIME type.
pcdata
Support for other text types, such as text/html is implementation-defined.
When the data is an image, a suitable MIME-type must be supplied for this property to tell the application
that the content is an image. However, the application is free to override the supplied value if upon
examining the image data it determines that the image data is of a different type. Which image types are
supported is implementation-defined.
The id property
A unique identifier that may be used to identify this element as a target.
The name property
An identifier that may be used to identify this element in script expressions.
