WAP & WML

Notes

Notes HTML browsers use it as both. Other wireless browsers ignore the attribute
completely.
The Newcontext Attribute
The newcontext attribute

 is optional
 stays “false” (default) if not changed
 causes the browser to reformat; clears all variables from the previous cards

 clears browser history
The default is “false”.
When “true” is specified, a new browser context is created which clears the navigation history
and any defined variables. This allows us to start with a known state where only the current card
appears in the history stack.

Task What are the various ways in which navigation can happen?
