Where i can find "interface component specification"?

Every body are really know dropdownlist, checkBox, radioButton, panel, tag ...ect.
But is there any person know "How to use these controls". So I would like to ask you:
"What document is describe attribute, behaviour and when we use that control"

I think, common problem of developers is misuse controls. If you encounter this trouble before please help me.

Sorry, my example maked all of you misunderstand.
Update(void misunderstand):
When they created user interface component(win/web) maybe they have specification. This document show:"Example : Button element"
1_How component look like: "Button: should be rectangle with shadow".
2_How it work: "When press it should down and up when release".
3_What does it mean: "This is an action button, use inside form element".
4_Use for: "do an action".

This document is all that developer need and I mention about. If developer misuse interface component => Usability bug: Blooper user.
Ex:
1_If button does not work as "When press it should down and up when release". This is likely Label
2_If click Button -> Open new document = Link

Not sure what you're looking for. This is the HTML forum. That link is the specification for all HTML form elements. Anything else is probably outside the bounds of HTML: either you are getting into browser-specific implementations of form elements, or you want to know something about methods and attributes of client-side scripting languages such as JavaScript when dealing with form elements?

As Nog says, this is not web-specific. Search for "common user interface" guidelines.
