Chapter 8 Displaying Text
Some cards contain mostly text. For instance, applications that display email messages,
news items, stock quotes, and confirmation or informative notices are text intensive. These
cards often contain limited number of selection choices and are not used for text entry.
Shared Feature Set: Text-Display Guidelines
■ Display about 500 to 800 characters per card.
■ Define a More link if more information is available.
Example 8-1
Openwave Browser
■ Wrap the text.
Do not use <p mode="nowrap">. The exception is a short header or text of little
relevance to the user. For example, when displaying news for a specific company, use
the
<p mode="nowrap"> mode to display the company name.
■ Define the primary label for navigation.
Use the primary softkey or a link for forward navigation (accessing the next set of
data); use the secondary labels for alternative navigation or other functions related to
the application.
