Using Select Lists

A select list is an input component that specifies a list of options for the user to choose from. Single and multiple choice lists are supported.

Single Choice Lists

A single choice list is used for the selection of one and only one item in a list. The list is presented as a drop-down listbox.

In its closed state the listbox displays the currently selected value within angled brackets (see Select Pizza in the example below). The component is 15 pixels high and surrounded by 5 pixels of white space to the left and right. The width adapts to the length of the text within the brackets. However, if the total width should have exceeded 150 pixels the text is truncated.

In its opened state, a list with an optional scrollbar is displayed. The number of lines is unlimited (see Select Size in the example below).

The text in a single choice list is displayed using the Normal bold font.

WML

Two elements define a single choice list: select and option.

Single choice lists are specified using the select element with the multiple attribute set to No. Each list item is specified by an option element.

R380 specifications

The Ericsson R380, launched in 2000, stands as an iconic device in the annals of mobile telecommunications. Often celebrated as one of the first smartphones, the R380 was distinguished by its innovative design and features that laid the groundwork for future handheld devices.

One of the defining characteristics of the Ericsson R380 was its form factor. It featured a clamshell design, which provided a compact and portable solution for users. When closed, the device protected the screen and keypad, and upon opening, it revealed a large monochrome LCD display. This dual-display feature made it easy to use, and its robust construction ensured durability in everyday scenarios.

The R380 ran on the Symbian OS, which was a pioneer in mobile operating systems. This allowed the device to support a range of applications, something that was still emerging in the mobile market at the time. The operating system enabled users to manage contacts, calendar appointments, and tasks effectively, enhancing productivity and organization. The device also offered SMS and email functionalities, adhering to the growing demand for mobile communication.

In terms of connectivity, the Ericsson R380 was equipped with GSM technology, which was becoming the standard for mobile networks. It allowed users to enjoy clearer voice calls and better coverage compared to older technologies. Additionally, the phone supported GPRS, enabling users to access the internet and send data more efficiently, a significant leap forward for mobile users.

With a focus on personalization, the R380 allowed users to customize ringtones, wallpapers, and other settings to create a unique user experience. The phone's battery life was commendable for its time, providing extended usage between charges, which was crucial for mobile professionals.

Though it may seem basic by today’s standards, the Ericsson R380 represented a technological breakthrough in the early 2000s. Its integration of telephony and computing set the stage for the smartphones that would follow, showcasing a glimpse of the mobile future that consumers would come to expect. The legacy of the R380 continues to resonate, marking it as a pivotal player in the evolution of mobile technology.
