Wap/WML : Links
Jean-Michel Blanchard
Special Links
WML provides a tag that does not exist in HTML, which enables you to create special links:
<anchor>. It must be associated with a particular command.
Standard link
The first possibility for using the
<anchor> tag is to create a link to a second deck. To do this, you just have to assign it the
<go/> command.
Example:
<anchor>
News
<go href="page2.wml"/>
</anchor>
This command is equivalent to the standard link:
<a href="page2.wml">News</a>. For the sake of readability, preference is even given to the second method.
Enlivening a page
To update card data on screen, just create a special link enabling you to again display the data. To do this, we use the
</refresh> command:
<anchor>
Refresh the page
</refresh>
</anchor>
Previous page
It is very easy to create a reverse link that permits you to jump back to a previous page. To do this, we use the
</prev> command:
<anchor>
Back
</prev>
</anchor>
Simple ... WML really simplifies certain HTML syntaxes. Remember that, in order to create a link to the previous page from a HTML page,
you would have to use JavaScript.
