name type default description
value ```python str | Callable | None ``` None URL to display in the browser iframe
url ```python str ``` "https://example.com" Initial URL to load in the browser
width ```python str ``` "100%" Width of the browser component
min_height ```python str ``` "500px" Minimum height of the browser component
show_hostname ```python bool ``` False If True, shows full URL in address bar; if False, shows only path
placeholder ```python str | None ``` None placeholder hint to provide behind textbox.
label ```python str | I18nData | None ``` None the label for this component
every ```python Timer | float | None ``` None Continously calls `value` to recalculate it if `value` is a function
inputs ```python Component | Sequence[Component] | set[Component] | None ``` None Components that are used as inputs to calculate `value` if `value` is a function
show_label ```python bool | None ``` None if True, will display label.
scale ```python int | None ``` None relative size compared to adjacent Components
min_width ```python int ``` 160 minimum pixel width
interactive ```python bool | None ``` None if True, will be rendered as an editable component
visible ```python bool | Literal["hidden"] ``` True If False, component will be hidden
rtl ```python bool ``` False If True, sets the direction of the text to right-to-left
elem_id ```python str | None ``` None An optional string that is assigned as the id of this component in the HTML DOM
elem_classes ```python list[str] | str | None ``` None An optional list of strings that are assigned as the classes of this component in the HTML DOM
render ```python bool ``` True If False, component will not render be rendered in the Blocks context
key ```python int | str | tuple[int | str, ...] | None ``` None in a gr.render, Components with the same key across re-renders are treated as the same component
preserved_by_key ```python list[str] | str | None ``` "value" A list of parameters from this component's constructor
### Events | name | description | |:-----|:------------| | `change` | Triggered when the value of the Browser changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See `.input()` for a listener that is only triggered by user input. | | `input` | This listener is triggered when the user changes the value of the Browser. | | `submit` | This listener is triggered when the user presses the Enter key while the Browser is focused. | ### User function The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both). - When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function. - When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function. The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output. - **As output:** Is passed, passes URL value as a {str} into the function. - **As input:** Should return, expects a URL {str} to display in browser. ```python def predict( value: str | None ) -> str | None: return value ```
