Custom HTML attributes

These can be used with any regular HTML elements to configure kernel requests. The PixieApp framework can trigger these requests when the element receives a click or change event, or right after the HTML fragment has completed loading.

• pd_options: List of key-value pairs that define transient states for the kernel request, according to the following format: pd_options=”key1=value1;key2=value2;...”. When used in combination with the pd_entity attribute, the pd_options attribute invokes the PixieDust display() API. In this case, you can get the values from the metadata of a separate Notebook cell in which you have used the display() API. When using pd_options in display() mode, it is recommended for convenience, to use the JSON notation of pd_options by creating a child element called <pd_options> and include the JSON values as text.

  Example with pd_options as child element invoking display():

  <div pd_entity>
      <pd_options>
          {
  ...
