Correct Encoding & Doctype
*   Character Encoding
    Ensuring the use of the correct character encoding and doctype makes
    sure that the page renders as expected.
    <?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?>


*   XHTML-MP Doctype
    The document type (doctype) tells the browser how the page needs to
    render, including the rules and how strictly to follow these rules.

Use Well-formed Code
*   All elements should be closed, e.g. <br />.

*   All non-empty elements should be closed.
    <p>Example Text</p><p>Example Text</p>


*   All elements must be closed in the reverse order.
    <em><strong>Example Text</strong></em>


*   The alt attribute should be used for all images.
    <img src=”image.png” alt=”Image Description” />


*   Text should appear within a block level element and not directly in the body.
    <body><p>Example Text</p></body>


*   Inline elements should always nest with block level elements.
    <h2><em>Example Text</em></h2>


*   All attributes should appear within quotes.
    <hr noshade=”true”/>


*   All elements and attributes should use lowercase.
    <p class=”Sm”>Example Text<hr noshade=”true”/></p>

Use accesskeys in the Primary Navigation

*   The primary navigation should include an
    assigned accesskey that corresponds to a
    numbered keypad whenever possible.
    <li><a   href=”news.html” accesskey=”1”>News</a></li>
    <li><a   href=”products.html” accesskey=”2”>Our Products</a></li>
    <li><a   href=”customers.html” accesskey=”3”>Our Customers</a></li>

         Copyright © 2007 Blue Flavor. All trademarks and copyrights remain the property of their respective owners.
Use Ordered Lists for Navigation

*   Using ordered lists for navigation rather than
    unordered lists will indicate to the use the
    associated accesskey.
    <ol>
     <li><a   href=”news.html” accesskey=”1”>News</a></li>
     <li><a   href=”products.html” accesskey=”2”>Our Products</a></li>

Use Document Styles, Not External Styles

*   Linking to an external file requires most
    mobile browsers to first load the XHTML-MP
    document, and then load the external
    stylesheet.

*   When using external stylesheets the user may
    experience a brief “flash” of unstyled text
    before the stylesheet has a chance to load.
    Instead, insert styles into the <head> of a
    document.


        Copyright © 2007 Blue Flavor. All trademarks and copyrights remain the property of their respective owners.
Linking Phone Numbers
*   One of the benefits of the mobile web is that
    its users primarily view it on a phone, allowing
    the user to quickly and easily make phone
    calls.

Forms can be Tricky
*   Entering data into a mobile web site is often a
    difficult and time-consuming process.

*   To avoid wasting the user’s time and causing
    frustration, use few or no forms.

*   However, when using forms, keep the needed
    information as little as possible.

The process of dynamically optimizing content to the
restrictions of the requesting device.
The adaptation model relies on the mobile device’s user

based on the browser, screen size and device capabilities.
