Remarks
Windows Internet Explorer 7. The CDF (Channel Definition Format) is obsolete and should not be used.
Some older implementations of CDF clients look for a SHOW attribute instead of the USAGE child element inside the ITEM element. An attribute of SHOW="string" in an ITEM element is functionally equivalent to adding a child element of <USAGE VALUE="string></USAGE> to an ITEM element.
When the parent element is used as a desktop component, a number of formatting elements (children) are supported.
"SmartScreen," a trademark of PointCast Inc., can be used in place of the ScreenSaver value to display the PointCast Network SmartScreen in the Internet Explorer screen saver.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to identify an ITEM used as a screen saver.
<ITEM HREF="http://www.joyware.tld/screensaver.htm"> <USAGE VALUE="ScreenSaver"></USAGE> </ITEM>
