<P>
Ever since the Internet industry exploded a few years ago, numerous related
industries have spawned and flourished from the standard
<ACRONYM title="World Wide Web">WWW</ACRONYM> (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.
</P>
<P>
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, <ACRONYM title="Personal Digital Assistant">PDA</ACRONYM>s,
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.
</P>
<P>
The need to support this new class of information appliances while still
meeting the <ACRONYM title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</ACRONYM> standards
and the rigid design requirements are the challenges this evolving industry
faces today.
</P>
<P>
This document describes guidelines for content authors how to use
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Specification
<A href="#HTML40">[HTML40]</A> effectively for "Mobile Access",
and some design notes for user agent manufacturers.
</P>
<H2><A name="Requirements">2. Requirements from Mobile Access</A></H2>
<P>
There are a wide range of mobile devices in the market.
The typical product examples are as follows:
</P>
<UL>
<LI><ACRONYM title="Personal Digital Assistant">PDA</ACRONYM></LI>
<LI>mobile phone</LI>
<LI>pager</LI>
<LI>embedded system</LI>
<LI>automobile information appliance (car navigation system)</LI>
<LI>mobile game machine</LI>
<LI>digital book reader</LI>
<LI>smart watch</LI>
</UL>
<P>
This section summarizes the requirements from "Mobile Access".
</P>
<H3><A name="Hardware">2.1. Hardware Restrictions</A></H3>
<P>
As described in <A href="#CompactHTML">[CompactHTML]</A>,
there are several hardware restrictions in mobile devices.
The major characteristics are as follows:
</P>
<UL>
<LI>small memory capacity</LI>
<LI>small display space</LI>
<LI>less powerful <ACRONYM title="Central Processing Unit">CPU</ACRONYM></LI>
<LI>limited input method</LI>
<LI>no or small data storage</LI>
<LI>limited power consumption</LI>
</UL>
<P>
These characteristics have to be taken into account in designing
the user agent functionality for mobile devices,
as well as creating mobile-friendly contents.
</P>
<H3><A name="Bandwidth">2.2. Narrow Bandwidth Networking</A></H3>
<P>
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:
</P>
<UL>
<LI>slow speed</LI>
<LI>unstable</LI>
<LI>expensive</LI>
<LI>non-<ACRONYM title="Internet Protocol">IP</ACRONYM> connection</LI>
</UL>
<P>
These restrictions depend on underlying communication bearers. The
infrastructure will be improved in the third generation wireless phone
networking.
</P>
<H3><A name="Accessibility">2.3. Accessibility Requirements</A></H3>
<P>
Simple and easy operations of information appliances are very
important. Unlike <ACRONYM title="Personal Computer">PC</ACRONYM>
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 <A href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/#Resources"><ACRONYM title="Web Accessibility Initiative">WAI</ACRONYM>
Accessibility Guidelines</A>, should be taken into account.
In general, <ACRONYM title="Web Accessibility Initiative">WAI</ACRONYM>
Accessiblity Guidelines are also useful for mobile access.
</P>
<P>
For example, the "<CODE>accesskey</CODE>" attribute of
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 can be
used to assign buttons to links or form selections.
Also, alternative text for images should be provided via
"<CODE>alt</CODE>" attribute so that mobile devices can make use of text
descriptions instead of large images. For more information,
see section <A href="#Accesskeys">3.8</A> and <A href="#Objects">3.7</a> respectively.
</P>
<H2><A name="Guidelines">3. Guidelines for Mobile Access</A></H2>
<P>
This section describes the detail of the <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 guidelines for
mobile access.
</P>
<P>
In order to meet the requirements as described in
<A href="#Requirements">section 2</A>, we use
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Strict,
which excludes the presentation attributes and elements, as a suitable
baseline for mobile access. Thus, the following guidelines assume to use
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Strict.
</P>
<H3><A name="Styles">3.1. Styles</A></H3>
<P>
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.
</P>
<P>
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.
</P>
<P>
The "<CODE>media</CODE>" attribute can be used so that user agents can select
appropriate style sheets. See section
<A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/styles.html#h-14.2.4">14.2.4</A>
of <A href="#HTML40">[HTML40]</A> for more detail.
</P>
<P>
The <CODE>STYLE</CODE> element can be also used, but inline style sheets
via "<CODE>style</CODE>" attribute is not preferred,
because it's not flexible and almost like the presentation attributes
which are deprecated and excluded from the
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Strict.
</P>
<P>
Contents should be readable without style sheets so that devices
which don't support style sheets can still render contents reasonably.
</P>
<P>

of Techniques for <A href="#WAI-WEBCONTENT">[WAI-WEBCONTENT]</A>.
</P>
<H4 class="note">Note for User Agents:</H4>
<P class="note">
It is desirable that even if user agents don't support style sheets,
it should parse <CODE>STYLE</CODE> elements not to show
styles nor to cause any other side-effects.
</P>
<H3><A name="Scripts">3.2. Scripts, Event Handlers</A></H3>
<P>
Usual mobile devices have limitation of memory storage,
<ACRONYM title="Central Processing Unit">CPU</ACRONYM> 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.
</P>
<P>

</P>
<H4 class="note">Note for User Agents:</H4>
<P class="note">
It is desirable that even if user agents don't support scripts,
it should parse <CODE>SCRIPT</CODE> elements not to show
scripts nor to cause any other side-effects.
</P>
<H3><A name="Forms">3.3. Forms</A></H3>
<P>
Usual mobile devices support basic forms, but they don't have
keyboards like desktop <ACRONYM title="Personal Computer">PC</ACRONYM>s.
Content authors should keep in mind that it will be hard for users of
mobile devices to input many characters.
</P>
<P>
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.
</P>
<P>
Many mobile devices do not support images, thus value "<CODE>image</CODE>"
for "<CODE>type</CODE>" attribute of <CODE>INPUT</CODE> element should not
be used.
</P>
<P>
As described in <A href="#Scripts">3.2</A>, authors should not rely on
scripting, and should avoid using attributes for event handling, such as
<CODE>onsubmit</CODE>.
</P>
<P>

</P>
<H3><A name="Frames">3.4. Frames</A></H3>
<P>
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 <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Strict.
Therefore, frames should not be used.
</P>
<P>
If there is compelling reason to use frames, make sure that those contents
have the descriptions below:
</P>
<UL>
<LI>Provide a fallback content for contents that contain frames using
<CODE>NOFRAMES</CODE> at the end of each <CODE>FRAMESET</CODE>.</LI>
<LI>Name each frame via the "<CODE>title</CODE>" attribute on <CODE>FRAME</CODE>
elements so that users can keep track of frames by name.</LI>
</UL>
<P>
See also section
<A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/wai-pageauth-tech#frames">2.11</A>
of Techniques for <A href="#WAI-WEBCONTENT">[WAI-WEBCONTENT]</A>.
</P>
<H4 class="note">Note for User Agents:</H4>
<P class="note">
If user agents don't support frames, it should render contents of
the <CODE>NOFRAMES</CODE> element.
Also, even if user agents can't render frames,
it is desirable to provide links to each frame,
so that users can access to contents of each frame.
</P>
<H3><A name="Imagemaps">3.5. Image Maps</A></H3>
<P>
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.
</P>
<P>
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 "<CODE>alt</CODE>" attribute of <CODE>AREA</CODE> element,
which is a required attribute in <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 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.
</P>
<P>
See also section
<A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/wai-pageauth-tech#images">2.7</A>
of Techniques for <A href="#WAI-WEBCONTENT">[WAI-WEBCONTENT]</A>.
</P>
<H4 class="note">Note for User Agents:</H4>
<P class="note">
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 "<CODE>alt</CODE>" attribute of
<CODE>AREA</CODE> element.
</P>
<H3><A name="Tables">3.6. Tables</A></H3>
<P>
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
<A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/#gl-table-markup">Guideline 7</A>
of <A href="#WAI-WEBCONTENT">[WAI-WEBCONTENT]</A>,
it will be difficult for mobile devices to process
complex tables due to the hardware restrictions as described
in <A href="#Hardware">2.1</A>.
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.
</P>
<H4 class="note">Note for User Agents:</H4>
<DIV class="note">
<P>
Even if it would be difficult, user agents may parse and render tables
if possible. For example, the <CODE>CAPTION</CODE> element and
"<CODE>summary</CODE>" attribute are usable to summarize tables.
See also <A href="#WAI-USERAGENT">[WAI-USERAGENT]</A>.
</P>
</DIV>
<H3><A name="Objects">3.7. Objects and Images</A></H3>
<P>
The <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> elements, which are designed to embed various
objects including images into
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 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.
</P>
<P>
When embedding objects via <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> element, alternative contents
should be provided by the fallback mechanism of <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> element.
These alternative contents should end up with texts.
</P>
<P>
An example below is quoted from <A href="#HTML40">[HTML40]</A>:
</P>
<DIV class="sample">
<PRE>
<P>
<OBJECT data="navbar.png" type="image/png">
<OBJECT data="navbar.gif" type="image/gif">
text describing the image...
</OBJECT>
</OBJECT>
</P>
</PRE>
</DIV>
<P>
In general, images should be embedded via <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> element,
as it has better fallback mechanism, but <CODE>IMG</CODE> element may
also be used. In this case, alternative description via "<CODE>alt</CODE>"
attribute, which is required in <A href="#HTML40">[HTML40]</A>,
should be provided for user agents which cannot or do not render images.
This guideline doesn't specify nor recommend specific formats for images.
</P>
<P>
If the image represents an important information,
a long description should be provided via <CODE>longdesc</CODE> attribute
of <CODE>IMG</CODE> element, in addition to alternative text via
<CODE>alt</CODE> attribute.
</P>
<P>
The <CODE>APPLET</CODE> element, which is not part of the
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Strict,
should not be used in favor of the <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> element.
</P>
<H4 class="note">Note for User Agents:</H4>
<DIV class="note">
<P>
User agents should try to render nested objects according to
the precedence rules described in
<A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/objects.html#h-13.3.1">section 13.3.1</A> of <A href="#HTML40">[HTML40]</A>.
Even if user agents don't support <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> elements,
they should render alternative content of <CODE>OBJECT</CODE> element as a fallback.
</P>
<P>
If a long description is provided via <CODE>longdesc</CODE> attribute
of <CODE>IMG</CODE> element, user agents should provide access to that
long description.
</P>
</DIV>
<H3><A name="Accesskeys">3.8. Access keys</A></H3>
<P>
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.
</P>
<P>
From this viewpoint, assigning access keys via "<CODE>accesskey</CODE>"
attribute (for <CODE>A</CODE>, <CODE>AREA</CODE>, <CODE>BUTTON</CODE>,
<CODE>INPUT</CODE>, <CODE>LABEL</CODE>, <CODE>LEGEND</CODE> and
<CODE>TEXTAREA</CODE> elements) will be effective when it is available.
This may improve accessibility of links or form related operations.
</P>
<P>
But the use of "<CODE>accesskey</CODE>" attribute needs careful consideration.
</P>
<OL class="alpha">

As mentioned in <A href="#Guidelines">section 3</A>,
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Strict

so conforming to this <ACRONYM title="Document Type Definition">DTD</ACRONYM>
will ensure interoperability across wide variety of platforms,
including mobile devices.
The complete definition of <ACRONYM title="Document Type Definition">DTD</ACRONYM> for <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> 4.0 Mobile is described in the

Not all guidelines can be expressed in the <ACRONYM title="Document Type Definition">DTD</ACRONYM>, but hopefully,
this <ACRONYM title="Document Type Definition">DTD</ACRONYM> will make it easier to follow these guidelines.

</PRE>
<P>
For example, this <ACRONYM title="Document Type Definition">DTD</ACRONYM>
excludes <CODE>style</CODE> attribute and event handlers like
<CODE>onclick</CODE>, so when content authors validate their documents
against this <ACRONYM title="Document Type Definition">DTD</ACRONYM>,
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

<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> mobile
Internet services and
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> browsing
software for a variety of mobile devices.
</P>
<P>
Currently the work for the next generation of
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM>
<A href="#XHTML">[XHTML]</A> is going on,
which will be a family of modularized document types that will make it easier
to extend and subset <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM>.
Since mobile device category is one of major targets for <A href="#XHTML">
[XHTML]</A>, mobile profile(s) and mobile module(s)
will be defined as part of <A href="#XHTML">[XHTML]</A>.
</P>
<P>
Note that the effort for converging <A href="#XHTML">[XHTML]</A>
and the Wireless Markup Language <A href="#WML">[WML]</A>,
for the Wireless Application Protocol
(<ACRONYM title="Wireless Application Protocol">WAP</ACRONYM>),
is currently ongoing between
the <ACRONYM title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</ACRONYM> and
the <A href="http://www.wapforum.org/"><ACRONYM title="Wireless Application Protocol">WAP</ACRONYM> Forum</A>
[<A href="#WAP-W3C">WAP-W3C</A>, <A href="#WML1.1">WML1.1</A>].
Hopefully, <A href="#WML">[WML]</A> will be among the family of
<A href="#XHTML">[XHTML]</A> document types in the future.
</P>
<P>
The worldwide standard for wireless digital phone networking protocols
(<ACRONYM title="International Mobile Telecommunication">IMT</ACRONYM>-2000)
will be established very soon. New services based on
<ACRONYM title="International Mobile Telecommunication">IMT</ACRONYM>-2000
standard will start in the early 21st century. The bandwidth of the network is
expected to be wide enough for <ACRONYM title="Internet Protocol">IP</ACRONYM> connections and Internet-oriented contents.
</P>
<P>
This implies that <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM>
and related recommendations for mobile Internet will become more and more
important. This <ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM>
4.0 guidelines for mobile access will be a good step towards future
<ACRONYM title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</ACRONYM> modularity for
mobile phones.

<!--
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.

ISO-HTML requires very strict heading order. If you want to

set the Preparation parameter entity to INCLUDE; it allows you
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.
An H6 element shall be preceded by an H5 element.

COL elements define the alignment properties for cells in
one or more columns.
The WIDTH attribute specifies the width of the columns, e.g.
width=64 width in screen pixels
width=0.5* relative width of 0.5
The SPAN attribute causes the attributes of one
COL element to apply to more than one column.
