He means _you_ can implement them without needing to know the CSS or
JS involved. But the tag then runs off and creates all the necessary
JS for you.

I've had all these widgets, and some others in the onTap framework's
html library for some months now... Pros and cons - sure... Joe's are
easier to understand when you're just looking at the code.

The onTap framework's are more versatile, and along with that comes a
bit of added complexity. The onTap framework features use a series of
functions to generate the "meta-data" behind the widgets, so that you
can edit the widgets, their content, their style and their behavior
(dhtml events) after they've been created (and before they're
displayed). Thus, you can create "wrapper functions" for common tasks
to maintain a consistent UI or just to cut down on keystrokes. Plus if
you want to add features, you don't have to add attributes to do that,
you can add new features just by combining different html library
function calls.
