Style Guide Overview

1

This document gives developers comprehensive guidelines for developing highly usable applications that run on Genie supported WAP browsers: the Openwavebrowser, the MitsubishiTriumbrowser, and the NokiaModels 7110, 6210, and 6250(Nokia 7110, 6210, and 6250) browser. This guide considers various situations and possibilities, offers the most usable solution, and provides sample code.

Usability tests have shown that it is not possible to write a single usable “generic” version of an application that will run well on different types of mobile browsers. For this reason, this document is written to help developers create optimised applications to run on the Openwave, Mitsubishi, or Nokia browsers.

Organisation of this Guide

This guide begins by outlining some usability philosophies and then gives detailed guidelines on navigation, selection lists, text display, forms, alerts, and many more topics. Each section that gives guidelines looks at the topic from four points of view:

Shared feature set for creating WAP applications. These recommendations apply to the Openwave, Nokia 7110/6210/6250 and Mitsubishi Trium browsers when developing usable applications. These guidelines address the shared feature set, that is, the features that are supported on all of the browsers. Because the browsers interpret the WAP standards differently when displaying data, this section outlines the approach that will work on all of the browsers.

Openwave usability. These guidelines explain how to create the most usable applications for the Openwave browser. Use the Openwave guidelines in conjunction with the shared feature set guidelines. Code samples may employ the Openwave extensions to WML to provide advanced functionality. These extensions are available to applications running on Openwave handsets through the Genie gateway.

Nokia usability. These guidelines explain how to create the most usable applications for the Nokia 7110 and Nokia 6210/6250 browser. Again, use the Nokia guidelines in conjunction the shared feature set guidelines. Although the Nokia examples are based on the Nokia 7110 browser, they apply as well to the Nokia 6210/6250 browser. The few exceptions are explicitly labelled as “Nokia 6210/6250 only”.
