Example 3-7
Openwave Browser
<do type="options" label="Buy">
<go href="buy.wml"/>
</do>
<do type="options" label="Alert">
<go href="alert.wml/>
</do>
<do type="options" label="Reset">
<refresh>
<setvar name="album" value=""/>
</refresh>
</do>
In Example 3-7, more than one option is bound to the <do type="options"> task.
For this reason, the browser renders the label Menu on the secondary softkey. The
options under the Menu softkey are Buy, Alert, and Reset. The phone will label the
softkey Menu. Although the provided UI is generally understandable and efficient, a
developer may wish to exercise more control and build a card for the menu
themselves. This could provide more descriptive action items and enable better use of
icons and key accelerators. In this case, when more than one option is required, build
a card with the appropriate actions and bind this card to the secondary softkey key.
■ Include a descriptive header of 15 characters or fewer.
This header informs the user of the context if the title is not displayed. On some
Openwave browsers, the title may be displayed as well.

In Example 3-8, the header “Stock service” orients the user to the context.
