Remarks

In the absence of a PUT function (specified either as a PUT attribute on the PROPERTY element, or as a PUT element), the onpropertychange event is automatically fired when the value of the property is set. If a PUT function is available, the onpropertychange event must be fired explicitly by the component author from the specified PUT function.

Using the <GET> and <PUT> tags to specify the functions to call to obtain the value of the property, as in the following example...:
<PUBLIC:PROPERTY NAME = "borderWidth" />
    <PUBLIC:PUT INTERNALNAME = "put_borderWidth" />
    <PUBLIC:GET INTERNALNAME = "get_borderWidth" />
</PUBLIC:PROPERTY>
...is equivalent to the following example:
<PUBLIC:PROPERTY NAME = "borderWidth" PUT = "put_borderWidth" GET = "get_borderWidth" />
