Working with WML cards and templates

Creating WML cards

A card is a small collection of data that is displayed in a WML browser. A card can contain text, images, and

additional WML elements that allow users to input data and navigate between cards.

When designing a WML deck, keep in mind that navigation between cards is somewhat different than navigation

between pages on the web. In WML, navigation between cards typically goes only between cards in the same deck,

or back to the top level. Easy navigation is critical when viewing information on a wireless device, so make sure that

your WML deck is usable in this constrained environment.

To add a card to a deck

❖ Drag the Card icon from the WML Elements set in the objects toolbox into the document window. Release the

mouse button when the pointer is over the colored area of the WML element.

To specify card attributes

1 Select a card in the document window.

2 In the Card Inspector, enter a card title in the Title text box.

WML browsers render card titles in a variety of ways (as bookmark names, tool tips, and so on). Limit titles to 15

characters or fewer to prevent truncation of the text.

3 Set the following optional attributes in the Card Inspector:

newcontext Specifies whether or not the browser context should be reinitialized when a user accesses the card.

Choose True if you want the browser to clear variable bindings and navigational history when a user accesses the

card.

ordered Specifieshow thecardisorganized.ChooseTrueifthe card will have fields that should be completedina

linear order. Choose False if the card will have fields that can be completed in any order.

onenterforward, onenterbackward, and ontimer Include event bindings inside the card element.
