Mitsubishi Trium Text-Display Guidelines
■ Create links to navigate off the card.
■ Define appropriate softkey labels for confirmation cards.
Provide intuitive labels, such as Yes and No, for cards that require the user to confirm
an action. For example, to confirm a purchase transaction or acknowledge data loss,
define a
<do type="accept"> task with a Yes label to render on the left softkey and
a
prev task with the label No to render on the right softkey. Do not provide links on
this type of card as they may be difficult to select.
Example 8-5
<card id="makechoice" onenterforward="#makechoice2"
onenterbackward="http://www.myservice.com/homepage.wml">
</card>
<card id="makechoice2" title="Your choice">
<do type="accept" label="Yes">
<go href="http://www.myservice.com/somethingnew.wml"/>
</do>
<do type="prev" label="No">
<prev/>
</do>
<p>
Are you sure you want to exit?
</p>
</card>
Example 8-5 shows how to define a prev task with a softkey labelled No. When the
user presses the No softkey the
onenterbackward event rejects the confirmation
and returns the user to the previous card.
