Constant used to specify insertion position, when adding content to sections of the standard module in methods which expect a "where" argument.

Inserts new content before the sections existing content.

WidgetStdMod.ATTRS - static Object

Static property used to define the default attribute configuration introduced by WidgetStdMod.

WidgetStdMod.BEFORE - static String

Constant used to specify insertion position, when adding content to sections of the standard module in methods which expect a "where" argument.

Inserts new content before the sections existing content.

WidgetStdMod.BODY - static String

Constant used to refer the the standard module body, in methods which expect a section specifier

WidgetStdMod.FOOTER - static String

Returns: Node
The node reference for the section, or null if not set.
