Besides text, show and hide, ui-bind has commands for the common DOM changes. Each command is name:expression (or name selector:expression to apply it to an inner element), and value is the value of the path:

Command	Does
`html:expr`	sets the inner HTML (escape it yourself!)
`title:expr`, `href:expr`, `src:expr`	sets that attribute
`attr name:expr`	sets any attribute
`value:expr`	sets the value of a form control
`disabled:expr` / `enabled:expr`	disables or enables the controls inside
`checked:expr`	checks the checkbox inside
`.class:expr`	adds or removes the class

Options of the whole element: format:yyyy-MM-dd formats a date value before it is printed (for numbers call format() in the expression: text:value.format(2)), empty:none is shown when the value is empty, changes skips updates when the value did not change, and delay:200 waits that many milliseconds before rendering.
