Openwave Text - Display Guidelines

Use mobile originated prefetch to access the next card.

This shortens the time needed to retrieve the next set of information. While the user is reading one card, the next card can be retrieved and put into the cache.

Example 8-3

<head>

<link href="page2.wml" rel="next"/> </head>

<card id="page1">

<do type="accept" label="Page2"> <go href="page2.wml"/>

</do>

<p>

...

</p>

</card>

Example 8-3shows how to use prefetch to access the next card in a deck.

Do not use links on cards used to display results.

On cards that ask the user to confirm an action (for instance, deleting a contact from an address book), that provide error explanations, or that display other results, use the

<do type="accept"> and <do type="options"> labels instead of links. Map the safest or most common response to the <do type="accept"> label.

Incorporate Done softkeys when possible.

If no secondary functions on the displayed text are needed, add a Done softkey that returns the user to the next highest level within the application. This is often used in conjunction with activities so that the user can pop out of the current activity and return to the activity that spawned it.
