    <para>All attributes except <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;label&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> are optional. The <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;label&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute defines text to be represented.</para>
    <para>The <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;mode&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute could be used with three possible parameters:</para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>Server (default)</para>

      </emphasis> attributes are ignored. Items don&apos;t fire any submits itself. Behavior is
      fully defined by the components nested into items.</para>

    <para>Here is an example for value <emphasis>

    <para>There are two icon-related attributes. The <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;icon&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute defines an icon. The <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;iconDisabled&quot;</property>

    <para>Default icons are shown on the picture below:</para>
