ux-window
Use the ux-window element to provide specifications for a window or viewport in which a user assistance topic or Web page can be displayed. The window or viewport can be referenced by the resourceid element associated with a topic or topicref element.
The ux-window element can be used anywhere within a map. If more than one ux-window element in a map has the same name attribute, the first window specification in document order with that name attribute is used.

Example 125. Example
In this example, a window with a name of "csh" is defined in the map. The window name is later referenced by the ux-windowref attribute on the resourceid element.
<map title="Widget Help">
<topicmeta>
<ux-window id="fg23" name="csh" top="10" left="20" height="400" width="500"
features="status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no" relative="yes"
full-screen="no" />
</topicmeta>
<topicref href="file_ops.dita" type="concept">

In this example, different window specifications are defined for tablet and desktop presentation:
<map title="Puggles Help">
<topicmeta>
<ux-window id="p76" name="ux-tablet" top="1cm" left="1cm" height="4cm" width="3cm"
features="status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no" relative="no"
