WAP & WML

Notes The type attribute of the <do> element is mandatory. It specifies which type of user interface
element should be associated to a <do> element. Some commonly used attribute values
are accept, options and prev.
If the type attribute value is accept, the <do> element is associated to a user interface element
that can provide a way for the user to accept some kind of action. The ACCEPT element is
usually the left softkey in mobile phone browsers, since the left softkey is used as the “Yes” or
“OK” softkey typically. The table below gives some descriptions of how ACCEPT elements are
presented on some mobile phone emulators:

Nokia Mobile Browser 4.0 If you press the Options softkey on the left, you
will see all the ACCEPT elements.
Openwave Mobile Browser 6.2.2 The first ACCEPT element becomes the left
softkey.
If there are two ACCEPT elements, the second one
becomes the right softkey.
If there are more than two ACCEPT elements, the
right softkey will be labeled as Menu. You can see
the second to the nth ACCEPT elements if you
press the Menu softkey, where n is the total
number of ACCEPT elements.

If the type attribute value is options, the <do> element is associated to a user interface element
that can provide users further options or operations to choose from. Very often WAP browsers
place the OPTIONS elements in an options list and they provide a certain way for you to bring
up the options list, such as pressing a softkey or a physical button. The table below gives some
descriptions of how OPTIONS elements are presented on some mobile phone emulators:
