 @node binders
 @subsection binders.js
 
+The bind system allows HTML-elements to specify that they want to be
+updated whenever its corresponding (vcalendar) object changes.
+The bind system is currently set up in
+@code{bind_properties} (@pxref{bind_properties})
+(which at the time of writing is (badly) located in @ref{script}).
+
+All (HTML) components with the class @code{bind} are bound. By default
+the (HTML) attribute @code{data-property} is checked for a property
+name, and @code{object.innerHTML} is set whenever that property field
+changes.
+Alternatively an (HTML) component may specify a specific binder
+through the HTML attribute @code{data-bindby}, which should be the
+name of a JavaScript function taking two arguments, an @TODO{event
+component}
+@footnote{Root ``root'' HTML component of a given calendar event
+(something which @code{get_property} can be called on},
+and the component in question.
+
+@c Also sets up event listeners, which most doesn't do.
+
+Binder functions are generally placed in @file{binders.js}, and
+shouldn't be called manually.
+
+@defun bind_recur el e
+Handles recurrence rules.
+Uses a sub-binder system on components with class containing
+``bind-rr''.
+@end defun
+
+@defun bind_edit el e
+Cases for @code{input} and @code{textarea} elements @TODO{(should also
+handle @code{select}s?)}
+@end defun
+
+@defun bind_view el e
+The same as the default binder????
+@end defun
+
+@defun bind_wholeday el e
+Binder for the wholeday toggle button.
+While CSS would suffice, this sets the disabled flags on the time
+inputs, giving a better user experience.
