Creating XHTML-Basic and XHTML-Mobile pagesThe WAPForum/OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) developed XHTML-Mobile and XHTML-Basic for use with mobile phones and handheld devices. XHTML-Mobile delivers content in a compact format that is accessible by a wide range of devices that support XHTML. XHTML-Mobile and XHTML-Basic are the new standard that all microbrowsers support. (Microbrowsers are included on devices such as wireless handsets, home appliances, and car telematic systems.) Many microbrowsers on new mobile devices are dual-mode, so they are able to support WML 1.0 as well as XHTML-Mobile and XHTML-Basic content. As you develop XHTML mobile profile pages (using either XHTML-Mobile or XHTML-Basic), work in a site project file and follow these guidelines to take advantage of all the benefits of GoLive. Set up the environment and pages. Configure the Objects palette so that you can drag only valid XHTML elements to your page. Set the page to the XHTML doctype and choose a browser preview setting. When you set the doctype, only text formatting options that are valid in XHTML are available. Add content You can add text, links, form elements, and images just like any other GoLive page. To view only supported elements, configure the Objects palette for XHTML. (See Configuring the Objects palette for cHTML/iHTML.) Preview pages in the phone emulator Preview your wireless pages as you preview regular Web pages in GoLive. (See Previewing files.) You can specify a phone emulator (such as Nokia) instead of an HTML browser (such as Internet Explorer) to provide an accurate preview. (See Previewing wireless pages in a phone emulator (Windows only).) Related Subtopics: |
