- Description:
- The last call comment on this, LC-435, says that it is not clear whether this
refers to the language of the text or setting a language attribute on a control.
text of section 5.5.1 follows:
[MINIMIZE_KEYSTROKES] Keep the number of keystrokes to a minimum.
[AVOID_FREE_TEXT] Avoid free text entry where possible.
[PROVIDE_DEFAULTS] Provide pre-selected default values where possible.
[DEFAULT_INPUT_MODE] Specify a default text entry mode, language and/or input
format, if the target device is known to support it.
5.5.1.1 What it means
Given the typical input limitations of a mobile device the interface must as far
as possible minimize user input. Where possible, use selection lists, radio
boxes and other user interface artifacts that do not require typing.
Some markup languages allow the specification of an input mode, which is
particularly useful in cases where user input is to be restricted, for example
to numeric only. It is anticipated that XHTML basic will support this
functionality in the future.
Specification of the natural language in use assists with predictive text input.
5.5.1.2 How to do it
There are a number of techniques available for this including:
*
Where possible use previous entries as defaults.
*
Make it possible to select items using navigation keys and/or numeric input. - Related Actions Items:
