Scrolling

The Title Line displays the Card Title, which does not change as scrolling occurs. The Prompt Line displays title information for each line, which changes as the user scrolls the page and brings a different line into focus.

To move up and down on the lines of text currently displayed:

When a Web page is initially displayed, the card title is shown on the Title Line.

If the Right or Left navigation button is pressed and held, the next or previous page displays. In this case, the Title Line displays the card title, rather than an element title. The Prompt Line is either empty if no line is in focus or displays any applicable help messages.

The user moves up and down the lines currently displayed because different title information shows on the Prompt Line depending on which of the currently displayed lines is brought into focus. Each time a new line is brought into focus, a new title can display on the Prompt Line, if the title is included in the tag coding. When you code a tag without a title, the Prompt Line shows the default associated with that tag. The chart of Tags with Titles and Corresponding Title/Prompt Line Defaults: on page 80 provides Top Line default titles. Chapter 7: Web Browser for 9620 and 9630 IP Telephones and Chapter 9: Advanced Features provide tag-specific information.

The user can move to additional text lines that do not fit on the current screen, to view all the text lines contained in one card. It appears to the users as if they are navigating to the next page of text, but they are really descending down six more lines of text on the currently displayed card.

Example:

Table 8 shows the relationship between moving up and down one line at a time on the current lines displayed, what appears in the Prompt Line, and what line is considered in focus. This example shows what happens as the user moves down the card one line at a time. The table shows the title displayed in the Title or Prompt Line as appropriate when its corresponding tag is in focus. In this table, for example, when line 1 is in focus, its corresponding title displays on the Top Line. When the tag associated with a line does not have a specific title, a default title displays. If the line is only text and has no actionable tags, the card title displays.

The Title Line displays the card title when the page is first displayed. The Prompt Line displays additional card titles when the user scrolls down the screen and comes across a text element (<p> tag or <br/> tag). When pages are downloading, Loading .... displays on the Title Line. The left side of the Title Line displays Browser as a default, which you can customize. For more information, see WML Document Skeleton on page 104 and the corresponding Title change sample in that section. Horizontal scrolling is not supported.

NOTE: Phone calls can be made or received while in the Web browser.
