  5. Samples

  6. Wireless Markup Language - WML • XML based Language • Emphasis, Alignment, Tables • Buttons (Navigation mechanisms) • Actions • Variables • Script • Images - WBMP & local & alternate text

  7. Wireless Markup Language • Prologue (XML/WML version) • Deck • Template (defaults for cards in deck) • Card… • Do… • Paragraphs • Input

  8. Sample deck • <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" • "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"> • <wml> • <template> • <do type="options" label="Help"> • <go href="#helpcard" /> • </do> • <!- - <do type="options" label="Back"><prev/></do> --> • </template> • <card id="intro" title="Intro"> • <do type="accept" label="Go!" optional="false"> • <go href="#startcard"/> </do> • <p>Welcome to myWAP! • </p></card> • <card id="startcard" title="Content"> • <p>In the wonderful world of <em>WAP</em>, there is much intro, but no content.</p></card> • <card id="helpcard" title="Help"> • <p>As usual, no help is available</p></card> • </wml>

  9. More examples Phone.com Microsoft Accept Back

  10. <wml> <card id="login" title="login"> <onevent type="onenterbackward"><prev/></onevent> <do type="accept" label="outbox" optional="false"> <go href="#outbox"/> </do> <p><img localsrc="outbox" src="" alt=""/> To:<input name="email" emptyok="false" maxlength="128" format="*a\@*a"/><br/> Password: <input name="pwd" type="password" maxlength="32" format="*N"/></p></card> <card id="outbox" title="Outbox" ontimer="#send"> <onevent type="onenterbackward"><prev/></onevent> <timer name="thinktime" value="100"/> <do type="accept" label="send"><go href="#send"/> </do> <p>Send '$(pwd)' to $(email)?</p></card> <card id="send"> <onevent type="onenterforward"> <go href="http://mango/cgi-bin/wap-send-email.sh?$(email)"/></onevent> <onevent type="onenterbackward"><prev/></onevent> <p>Failed to send to $(email).</p></card> </wml> Form processing

  11. Dynamic WML • Same techniques as for HTML, but set content-type • Detect agent type (name, supports, …) • Cookies & rewriting • Available buttons, e.g. back • Screen size • Image support

  12. Gateways • Identity • Compilation • Size restriction • Speed • Limit of size of the WEB accessible Captive WEB gateway Compress+Security cookies wireless

  13. Browsers • Phones • PDAs • Simulators

  14. Buttons Cookies History Timers FILE:// Cache bugs Images Bold/italic,… WMLscript POST method WTAI Security WML compilation Proxy authentication Browser consistency

  15. Limitations of technology • Screen size, resolution, colour • Input devices • Bandwidth • Latency • Deck size

  16. Future • More bandwidth (3G wireless)- • GPRS - General Packet Radio Service • UMTS - Universal Mobile Telecom System • User Agent Profiles • Security • Location determination • Local services/always on

  17. Alternative • NTT DoCoMo ‘iMode’ • Unwired Planet (Phone.com) - HDML
