Setting up a cHTML page


    After you define the appropriate doctype, and also the document encoding if needed, creating a cHTML page is just like setting up a standard Web page.

To create and set up a cHTML page:

  1. Choose File > New Page.
  2. In the document window menu Objects palette menu (in the upper right side of the document window), choose DocType > i-mode HTML [1.0-5.0].
  3. If you are developing a Japanese cHTML site, choose File > Document Encoding > Japanese (Shift_JIS) and click OK.
  4. To set the layout view to simulate the page and type size of a phone browser, move the pointer over the document window, choose View > Browser Profile from the context menu, and then choose a profile from the list.
  5. To specify a page title, see Changing the page title.
  6. Note: The page title is saved as a bookmark name on the phone when users bookmark a page.

  7. To set text and link colors or a page background, see Applying images or color to the page background and Setting the default color for text or links in a page.
  8. TipTo organize the page into different sections, you can use horizontal rules.

To save a page as cHTML/iHTML:

  1. Choose File > Save As, and then type a file name.
  2. To save the file in your site folder, choose Root from the Site Folder pop-up menu.
  3. TipThe most efficient way to develop an i-mode site is to set up a template page in your site and save it as a cHTML page with your usual browser view selected. Then you can quickly create new pages with these characteristics by opening your template page in the site's Templates folder.
