</card>

Example 9-1shows how to create a card requesting data. Note that only one action label can be defined.

Limit input elements to 254 characters.

Make password fields numeric only, when possible.

It is easier to enter numbers than letters or symbols.

Do not mask alphanumeric passwords.

Do not mask the entry. It is easier for the user to hide the display from others than to type with masked characters.

User names can be no longer than 32 characters; passwords, no longer than 20.

Discourage long passwords by limiting the length.

Openwave: Data Entries Guidelines

Define only one action label for entry cards.

Use only one <do type="accept"> action. Additional options will hide primary navigation from the user.

Do not have text or links following a <select> or <input> element.

This will render on what feels like a separate card, and is inefficient for the user.
