Objectives of the Session• Discuss the relationship between XHTML,
XHTML Basic, XHTML-MP.
• Do some practical work in XHTML MP – developing a WAP 2.0 mobile website.
• Examine Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and how they can be used for mobile website design.

Introduction• The use of mobile devices has increased
tremendously in recent years (e.g., cell phones, PDAs, and other handheld devices).
• Mobile devices are different from traditional Web browsers:– Lower bandwidth– Lower memory– Limited display area– Limited input devices
• Therefore, protocols and languages that are specific for wireless applications have been designed.

Introduction• Wireless Application Protocol (WAP 1.0) was
the first Internet service for mobile devices. WAP pages were written in WML (Wireless Mark-up Language).
• WAP 2.0 is the Mobile Web with added ‘colour’ and enhanced media capabilities – more converged with Web development for PCs.
• WAP 2.0 Web pages are generally designed in XHTML MP.

WMLScript• Similar to JavaScript in HTML
• Used to add client-side logic to WAP pages
• Can be used for form validation and other client-side functions.
• WMLScripts are NOT embedded in WML pages; they are stored as separate files.

What is XHTML?• Developing XHTML is very much like developing using
HTML. The elements (tags) and attributes are almost identical.
• XHTML is an intersection of HTML and XML – a reformulation of HTML as an application of XML.
• Pages written in XHTML work well in most browsers.
• XHTML is stricter than HTML. All tags, including empty elements, must be closed and in lower case.
• It is defined by W3C
![Page 17: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
XHTML Basic• XHTML Basic is essentially a cut-down version of
XHTML, suitable for devices with limited processing and display capabilities (such as handhelds).
• It still looks like a lot like HTML, but without many features that are hard to support on mobile devices: frames, nested tables, internal style sheets (CSS), complex forms and scripting.
• XHTML Basic was again defined by W3C. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic for background.
![Page 18: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
XHTML Basic – Modules and Elements
Note: The Elements look a lot like regular HTML and behave in a very similar way
![Page 19: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
XHTML Mobile Profile• The WAP Forum (now OMA) added some
features to XHTML Basic in order to rectify some of its limitations, thus creating XHTML Mobile Profile (MP).
• XHTML MP extends XHTML Basic to bring extra functionality to developers, including more display elements and internal style sheets (CSS).
• XHTML MP is a strict subset of XHTML.
![Page 20: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rules for XHTML Documents• All tag and attribute names should be lowercase
• "Empty" tags must have an extra slash at the end
• Never leave out an end tag. Usually save files with the extension ".xhtml“
• Tags must be correctly ‘nested’ (e.g. <div><em>emboldened text</em></div>)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)• XHTML supports CSS.
• CSS allows you to establish a consistent design and formatting across all pages of a site.
• With CSS, if you want to change the style or formatting of a page, you just have to change the CSS, not each page element individually
![Page 30: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cascading Style Sheets• XHTML Basic only supports CSS through
external links but XHTML-MP allows internal CSS as well.
• Use caution with external CSS. In theory, external CSS allows you to have one CSS that applies to your entire site while reducing the amount of downloading the user has to do. In practice, many browsers do not cache the CSS and thus download it again for each page the user visits. Further, when the CSS is downloaded, the already-displayed XHTML content jumps around to render the new styling.
![Page 31: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CSS code example
Save the following as "style.css" in the same folder:
body { background-color: #efefdd; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: #000044;}
div { font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: #000044;}
hr { color:#006600;}
h1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;}h2 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;}h3 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt;font-weight:bold;
color: #00000;}
a { color: #1144aa; text-decoration: none;}a:hover { text-decoration: underline;}a:visited { color: #4466cc;}

Mobile Design Good Practices• Limit categories to 5
• Limit links to 10
• No more than 5 levels deep
• At least one content item per category
• Prioritize links by activity or popularity
![Page 33: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mobile Design Good Practices• Ensuring the use of the correct character encoding and
doctype makes sure that the page renders as expected.
• Avoid tables for layout
• Use accesskeys in the primary navigation
• Use document styles, not external styles – insert styles into the <head> of a document.
• Use few or no forms. If you have to use forms, keep required information as little as possible.
• Make telephone number links
![Page 34: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Guidelines for Mobile Content• Keep it simple!
– WAP browsers have limited capabilities
• Keep images small– Use smallest palette possible (256 web-safe palette):
• Scale images to fit the device before delivery:– Keep the file size of your images as small as possible
• Always include alt text.– The browser may not display images, or images may be
corrupted by communications errors.
![Page 35: Mobile Web Markup Language](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814930550346895db671d3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Guidelines for Mobile Content• Keep your pages small.
• Wireless bandwidth is scarce: big pages download slowly.
• Keep images small and suitable for low resolution.
• Test, test, test.
• Because WML & XHTML-MP are relatively new, test compatibility with different browsers!
