30 Genie Application Style Guide February 2001
In Example 4-3, the user can delete a message directly by highlighting the message
header and choosing Delete from the Menu softkey. The code in the menu card is
vastly simplified to show how the menu items would be rendered on the device. In a
real application, the code would be generated dynamically so that the server could be
accessed with each key press. It is only through this type of interaction with the server
that the behaviour for each individual message can be controlled from the menu.
For a real example of how to code for this behaviour, use the UP.Simulator
to
connect to the Developer UP.Link
and choose the UP.Mail application. To view
the code, choose the Info menu then the Source option (F5) from the UP.Simulator.
For more information on the UP.Simulator and the Developer UP.Link, visit

■ Do not wrap items on a menu.
Use <p mode="nowrap"> to display each menu item on one line. See the
“Openwave Menu Guidelines” on page 26 for the exception.
Example 4-4
Openwave Browser
<p mode="nowrap">
<select>
<option onpick="#band" title="find">Artist/Band search</option>
<option onpick="#song" title="songs">Title/Song search</option>
<option onpick="#top" title="top">Top 40 - all genres</option>
<option onpick="#conc" title="live">Concerts and Appearances</option>
<option onpick="#news" title="news">News, Gossip and
Interviews</option>
</select>
</p>
In Example 4-4, <p mode="nowrap"> prevents the menu items from wrapping.
Instead Times Square text scrolling is used.
■ Be aware that links are displayed differently on different phones.
Some phones may underline links and others may display them in square or angle
brackets. Do not underline text or use brackets in text.
Nokia Menu Guidelines
■ Each menu should be a list of anchors.
