Genie 7110 manual Shared Feature Set Navigation Guidelines

Navigation Guidelines 3

To navigate Wireless Mark-up Language (WML) content, the user must move through and between cards in one or more decks. The cards can contain many different types of elements, including selection lists (items in a list), displayed information (such as an email message), input fields, and multiple selection lists. To make applications run on multiple browsers, follow a number of general rules.

Shared Feature Set: Navigation Guidelines

■Do not assign more than one action of <do type="accept"> in any card.

■Map the most commonly chosen action or most intuitive task to

<do type="accept">.

■If there is to be more than one <do> task, ensure that the most common one is defined first in the card.

■Create an intuitive label for every <do> task.

This label will appear on the softkeys for the Openwave and Mitsubishi Trium browsers and under the Options softkey for the Nokia browser. Note that when a label is assigned to the prev task, the Nokia 7110 browser displays a Back label on the right. Always define a label of Back or Done for the prev task for the Mitsubishi Trium browser if the task is defined separately.

■Capitalise only the first letter of labels of <do> elements except in words like OK.

Consistent style throughout all applications enhances usability.

■Define a backward navigation action for each card.

Each card should have a <do type="prev">.

Example 3-1

<do type="prev" label="Back"> <prev/>

</do>
