Going Mobile-Best Practices
W3C Mobile Web Working Group
•XHTML Basic and XHTML MP 1.0 Search engines use page titles Wireless CSS stylesheets lower page
size•Use Wireless Markup Language (WML) for older mobile browsers•HTML 5 and Java

Going Mobile-Best Practices
Design Considerations
•Use <div> or <dl> tags, not <table>•Use server side includes (SSI), not frames•Place navigation in content page•Use accesskeys (numbers on keypad) to link to content and limit links to 10 or fewer per page•Prioritize links by popularity•Use brief forms if at all
Use radio buttons and drop-down menus rather than text boxes
![Page 45: Effective course design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54c744d74a7959fb218b45c9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Going Mobile-Best Practices
Design Considerations for Images
•Image width should by under 120 pixels•Avoid images containing dense information•Specify pixel height and width so these do not have to be calculated by the device which increases rendering time•Omit image maps as there usually is no pointing device•Always use alt tags
![Page 46: Effective course design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54c744d74a7959fb218b45c9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
