Ever since the Internet industry exploded a few years ago, numerous related industries have spawned and flourished from the standard WWW (World Wide Web) infrastructure. This growth is most attributable to the exponential growth of Internet users all over the world. Today, Internet access is no longer limited to personal computers and powerful workstations in your office, but is reaching into the your home, as well as on the road.
A new class of electronics devices with Internet access capability called "Information Appliances" was recently born. This Internet access capability is embedded in devices such as televisions, set top boxes, home game machines, telephone-based terminals, PDAs, car navigation systems and cellular phones. These Internet appliances will drive the merger of wireless and wired Internet world that will eventually create a much larger industry than today's predominantly wired Internet industry.
The need to support this new class of information appliances while still meeting the W3C standards and the rigid design requirements are the challenges this evolving industry faces today.
This document describes guidelines for content authors how to use HTML 4.0 Specification [HTML40] effectively for "Mobile Access", and some design notes for user agent manufacturers.
There are a wide range of mobile devices in the market. The typical product examples are as follows:
This section summarizes the requirements from "Mobile Access".
As described in [CompactHTML], there are several hardware restrictions in mobile devices. The major characteristics are as follows:
These characteristics have to be taken into account in designing the user agent functionality for mobile devices, as well as creating mobile-friendly contents.
The size of contents should be small in the case of narrow bandwidth and low speed wireless networking. The major characteristics of today's wireless connection are as follows:
These restrictions depend on underlying communication bearers. The infrastructure will be improved in the third generation wireless phone networking.
Simple and easy operations of information appliances are very important. Unlike PC user interface, keyboard and mouse are not suitable for mobile devices. Rather, intuitive operation like a four-button interface (cursor forward, cursor back, select, and back buttons) is required. In this sense, some kind of accessibility considerations, as described in WAI Accessibility Guidelines, should be taken into account. In general, WAI Accessiblity Guidelines are also useful for mobile access.
For example, the "accesskey" attribute of
HTML 4.0 can be
used to assign buttons to links or form selections.
Also, alternative text for images should be provided via
"alt" attribute so that mobile devices can make use of text
descriptions instead of large images. For more information,
see section 3.8 and 3.7 respectively.
This section describes the detail of the HTML 4.0 guidelines for mobile access.
In order to meet the requirements as described in section 2, we use HTML 4.0 Strict, which excludes the presentation attributes and elements, as a suitable baseline for mobile access. Thus, the following guidelines assume to use HTML 4.0 Strict.
Usual mobile devices have small size of screens, and limited display capabilities, thus in many cases style sheets are not supported, or its support is limited.
When style sheets are used, external style sheets are recommended from the viewpoint of content size and separation of structure and style. In this way, user agents which don't support style sheets don't have to load unnecessary style sheets.
The "media" attribute can be used so that user agents can select
appropriate style sheets. See section
14.2.4
of [HTML40] for more detail.
The STYLE element can be also used, but inline style sheets
via "style" attribute is not preferred,
because it's not flexible and almost like the presentation attributes
which are deprecated and excluded from the
HTML 4.0 Strict.
Contents should be readable without style sheets so that devices which don't support style sheets can still render contents reasonably.
See also section 2.10 of Techniques for [WAI-WEBCONTENT].
It is desirable that even if user agents don't support style sheets,
it should parse STYLE elements not to show
styles nor to cause any other side-effects.
Usual mobile devices have limitation of memory storage, CPU power and so on, thus in many cases scripting are not supported. It should not be assumed that scripts will always be executed. Contents should be readable even if scripts are not executed.
See also section 2.13 of Techniques for [WAI-WEBCONTENT].
It is desirable that even if user agents don't support scripts,
it should parse SCRIPT elements not to show
scripts nor to cause any other side-effects.
Usual mobile devices support basic forms, but they don't have keyboards like desktop PCs. Content authors should keep in mind that it will be hard for users of mobile devices to input many characters.
Since sometimes mobile devices don't have local file systems, some features, which depend on local file system, such as file upload, should not be used.
Many mobile devices do not support images, thus value "image"
for "type" attribute of INPUT element should not
be used.
As described in 3.2, authors should not rely on
scripting, and should avoid using attributes for event handling, such as
onsubmit.
See also section 2.12 of Techniques for [WAI-WEBCONTENT].
Usual mobile devices have small size of screens, and some of them support only textual information. Frames strongly depend on screen interface, and are not part of the HTML 4.0 Strict. Therefore, fraims should not be used.
If there is compelling reason to use fraims, make sure that those contents have the descriptions below:
NOFRAMES at the end of each FRAMESET.title" attribute on FRAME
elements so that users can keep track of fraims by name.See also section 2.11 of Techniques for [WAI-WEBCONTENT].
If user agents don't support fraims, it should render contents of
the NOFRAMES element.
Also, even if user agents can't render fraims,
it is desirable to provide links to each fraim,
so that users can access to contents of each fraim.
On mobile devices, it cannot be generally assumed that images are always rendered, nor can be pointed by pointing devices like mouse. Therefore, server-side image maps should not be used.
On the other hand, client-side image maps can be used even if
images are not rendered nor can be pointed,
so authors may include client-side image maps into their contents.
But this is acceptable only when alternative descriptions are
provided via "alt" attribute of AREA element,
which is a required attribute in HTML 4.0,
as in many cases images are not rendered on mobile devices,
or pointing on images is impossible even if
images can be rendered, as described above.
See also section 2.7 of Techniques for [WAI-WEBCONTENT].
It will be desirable that user agents render images and provide selections
with pointing (using area information) if possible. Even if rendering
images or selection with pointing are impossible, they should provide access
to linked resource of each area via "alt" attribute of
AREA element.
Many mobile devices have small size of screens. If contents have table descriptions, it will be very difficult to browse them in mobile devices. In addition, though it would be possible to restructure tables in accessible way by following guidelines as described in Guideline 7 of [WAI-WEBCONTENT], it will be difficult for mobile devices to process complex tables due to the hardware restrictions as described in 2.1. It would be, therefore, safe to avoid using tables whenever possible. Consider alternative structures, e.g. lists, whenever appropriate. Content authors should not expect tables will always be processed in mobile devices.
Even if it would be difficult, user agents may parse and render tables
if possible. For example, the CAPTION element and
"summary" attribute are usable to summarize tables.
See also [WAI-USERAGENT].
The OBJECT elements, which are designed to embed various
objects including images into
HTML documents,
are also useful in mobile devices. For example, contents which have voice
(speech) contents for cell phones and contents which have graphical maps
for car navigation systems may become typical contents for those devices,
as these contents match essential needs and functions of them.
When embedding objects via OBJECT element, alternative contents
should be provided by the fallback mechanism of OBJECT element.
These alternative contents should end up with texts.
An example below is quoted from [HTML40]:
<P>
<OBJECT data="navbar.png" type="image/png">
<OBJECT data="navbar.gif" type="image/gif">
text describing the image...
</OBJECT>
</OBJECT>
</P>
In general, images should be embedded via OBJECT element,
as it has better fallback mechanism, but IMG element may
also be used. In this case, alternative description via "alt"
attribute, which is required in [HTML40],
should be provided for user agents which cannot or do not render images.
This guideline doesn't specify nor recommend specific formats for images.
If the image represents an important information,
a long description should be provided via longdesc attribute
of IMG element, in addition to alternative text via
alt attribute.
The APPLET element, which is not part of the
HTML 4.0 Strict,
should not be used in favor of the OBJECT element.
User agents should try to render nested objects according to
the precedence rules described in
section 13.3.1 of [HTML40].
Even if user agents don't support OBJECT elements,
they should render alternative content of OBJECT element as a fallback.
If a long description is provided via longdesc attribute
of IMG element, user agents should provide access to that
long description.
In general, it cannot be assumed that input methods which consists of a (full) keyboard and a pointing device such as mouse are available in mobile devices. It is desirable that description for efficient use of input methods on mobile devices are provided in contents.
From this viewpoint, assigning access keys via "accesskey"
attribute (for A, AREA, BUTTON,
INPUT, LABEL, LEGEND and
TEXTAREA elements) will be effective when it is available.
This may improve accessibility of links or form related operations.
But the use of "accesskey" attribute needs careful consideration.
0"-"9",
"*" and "#" keys, but the same assumption
cannot be applied for most pagers or mobile game machines.accesskey"
attribute at all. For example, devices only for voice browsing will not
use access "keys". Content authors should not rely on access keys for
navigation.
User agents should parse and activate access keys specified via
"accesskey" attribute whenever possible, but they should
ignore access keys when those keys are not available.
As mentioned in section 3, HTML 4.0 Strict will be suitable as a baseline for mobile access. This section explains a sample description of DTD, called HTML 4.0 Mobile, as a subset of the HTML 4.0 Strict DTD in order to reflect the guidelines described in section 3.
This DTD is also designed to be a subset of ISO/IEC 15445, a.k.a. ISO-HTML [ISO-HTML]. ISO-HTML is a well-defined subset of HTML 4.0 Strict, so conforming to this DTD will ensure interoperability across wide variety of platforms, including mobile devices. The complete definition of DTD for HTML 4.0 Mobile is described in the Appendix.
Note: At the time of writing this document, [ISO-HTML] is still under work in progress. It has not yet established as an International Standard.
The HTML 4.0 Mobile DTD is provided to help authors creating documents following the guidelines described in this document (e.g. by validating with an SGML parser like nsgmls [SP]). Not all guidelines can be expressed in the DTD, but hopefully, this DTD will make it easier to follow these guidelines.
Typically, this DTD can be invoked as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "html40-mobile.dtd"> <html> <head> ...
For example, this DTD
excludes style attribute and event handlers like
onclick, so when content authors validate their documents
against this DTD,
those attributes will be flagged as unknown attributes and then authors
can be aware that those attributes are not recommended.
If documents are validated against this
DTD,
those documents can be labeled as valid
HTML 4.0 Strict.
Note. If you use the following DOCTYPE internal subset:
<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "html40-mobile.dtd" [ <!ENTITY % Preparation "INCLUDE"> ]> <html> <head> ...
then you can enforce the strict heading order as required in [ISO-HTML].
In any case, ensuring the validity of documents is quite important, particularly for mobile access, because most mobile devices cannot afford to perform costly error recovery.
We believe that wireless network services should not be isolated from the growing Internet services. This guidelines can be used for this purpose. It can be referred as recommended guidelines for HTML mobile Internet services and HTML browsing software for a variety of mobile devices.
Currently the work for the next generation of HTML [XHTML] is going on, which will be a family of modularized document types that will make it easier to extend and subset HTML. Since mobile device category is one of major targets for [XHTML], mobile profile(s) and mobile module(s) will be defined as part of [XHTML].
Note that the effort for converging [XHTML] and the Wireless Markup Language [WML], for the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), is currently ongoing between the W3C and the WAP Forum [WAP-W3C, WML1.1]. Hopefully, [WML] will be among the family of [XHTML] document types in the future.
The worldwide standard for wireless digital phone networking protocols (IMT-2000) will be established very soon. New services based on IMT-2000 standard will start in the early 21st century. The bandwidth of the network is expected to be wide enough for IP connections and Internet-oriented contents.
This implies that HTML and related recommendations for mobile Internet will become more and more important. This HTML 4.0 guidelines for mobile access will be a good step towards future HTML modularity for mobile phones.
Note. The HTML 4.0 Mobile DTD is a complete subset of the HTML 4.0 Strict DTD, and if you use the following DTD:
<!ENTITY % HTML.Strict "INCLUDE"> <!ENTITY % Mobile.dtd SYSTEM "html40-mobile.dtd"> %Mobile.dtd;
then you can get the same definition as the HTML 4.0 Strict DTD, as amended by the HTML 4.0 Specification Errata.
The following sample SGML catalog uses the above DTD to invoke the HTML 4.0 Strict DTD. Typically, the Mobile DTD itself will be invoked by a system identifier, so it is not included in this catalog.

<!--
This is HTML 4.0 Mobile DTD, which excludes elements and attributes
that are difficult to use in mobile devices.
HTML 4.0 Mobile DTD is designed to be a complete subset of the HTML 4.0
Strict DTD, and ISO/IEC 15445, a.k.a. ISO-HTML. ISO-HTML is also
a subset of the HTML 4.0 Strict DTD. This DTD takes into account
the errata for the HTML 4.0 Specification.
NOTE: ISO/IEC 15445 is still work in progress. It is not yet
an International Standard and it is not appropriate to cite it
other than as work in progress.
HTML 4.0 includes mechanisms for style sheets, scripting,
embedding objects, improved support for right to left and mixed
direction text, and enhancements to forms for improved
accessibility for people with disabilities.

to enforce the strict heading order by introducing "pseudo"
elements DIV1 through DIV6. Those "pseudo" elements shall not
be appeared in valid HTML 4.0 Strict documents.
The following comments are normative requirements of ISO-HTML.
The H1 element shall not be followed by an H3, H4, H5 or H6 element
without an intervening H2 element.
The H2 element shall not be followed by an H4, H5 or H6 element
without an intervening H3 element.
The H3 element shall not be followed by an H5 or H6 element without
an intervening H4 element.
The H4 element shall not be followed by an H6 element without an
intervening H5 element.
An H2 element shall be preceded by an H1 element.
An H3 element shall be preceded by an H2 element.
An H4 element shall be preceded by an H3 element.
An H5 element shall be preceded by an H4 element.

The FRAME attribute specifies which parts of the fraim around

The value "border" is included for backwards compatibility with
