1 Introduction

(This section is informative)

The WICD Mobile profile is primarily designed to enable rich multimedia content on mobile handset devices. These are devices with:

WICD Mobile is a perfect subset of WICD Full. It is therefor possible, to create content for WICD Mobile agents and make use of this content in a WICD Full implementation, for instance in a desktop environment.

2 Compound Document by Reference Framework Compliance

This specification contains information, which is specific to the WICD Mobile 1.0 profile. Any information that applies to all WICD profiles, is compiled into the WICD Core 1.0 specification. Any information that applies to Compound Documents in general, can be found in the Compound Document Framework (CDR/CDI) specifications.

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must implement the

including the extended DOM API's and additional Events.

3 Profile Requirements

3.1 XHTML Basic 1.1

XHTMLBasic 1.1 W3C Working Draft 5 July 2006

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support XHTML Basic 1.1 as the root document.

3.1.1 XHTML MIME Type

XHTML Basic 1.1 documents should be associated with the application/xhtml+xml mime type.

3.2 ECMAScript 3rd Edition Compact Profile

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support ECMAScript 3rd Edition Compact Profile (ES-CP) as a scripting language.

3.2.1 ECMAScript MIME Type

ECMAScript documents should be associated with the "application/ecmascript" mime type.

3.3 CSS Mobile Profile 2.0

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support CSS Mobile Profile 2.0 [CSS Mobile Profile 2.0 Specification].

3.4 SVG Tiny 1.2

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support Scalable Vector Graphics Tiny 1.2 [SVGT12] specification.

3.5 User Agent Identification

When declaring support for WICD Mobile 1.0, a conforming user agent should use an "Accept" header with the value:

application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/12/wicd-mobile"

Future versions of the WICD Mobile profile, which are compatible with WICD Mobile 1.0, must use the same profile string, using the same format, but with a later date. (Example: application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2007/06/wicd-mobile")

3.6 Document Object Model (DOM)

WICD Mobile 1.0 does not require the implementation of the full DOM Level 3 Core and Events. Instead, the following subsets must be implemented.

3.6.1 Document Object Model (DOM) Core Subset

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification Subset, defined in the SVG Tiny 1.2 specification for all namespaces.

3.6.2 Document Object Model (DOM) Core Subset Additional Features

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the additional features described in Appendix C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Subset Extensions for all namespaces.

3.6.3 Document Object Model (DOM) Event Subset

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification Subset, defined in the SVG Tiny 1.2 specification for all namespaces.

3.6.4 Document Object Model (DOM) Event Subset Additional Features

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the additional features described in Appendix D Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Extensions for all namespaces.

3.6.5 HTML DOM

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the HTML DOM features described in Appendix E Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Subset for the nodes in the XHTML namespace.

3.6.6 Focus Traversal

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the Focus Traversal features described in Appendix F Focus Traversal Support for all namespaces.

3.6.7 SVG Micro DOM

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the SVG Micro DOM (uDOM) specification for nodes in the SVG namespace.

3.6.8 ElementTraversal interface

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the ElementTraversal interface on all DOM objects which implement the org.w3c.dom.Element interface.

3.6.9 DocumentView interface

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the DocumentView interface on all implementations of the org.w3c.dom.Document interface.

3.6.10 Window interface

In conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents, the org.w3c.dom.AbstractView associated with an org.w3c.dom.DocumentView must be an implementation of the Window interface as defined in the Window Object 1.0 specification.

3.6.11 XHTML Event Attribute to DOM Event Mapping

XHTML event attributes (e.g., onclick and onload) map to equivalent DOM3 Events features. Each event attribute represents the creation and registration of an EventListener. The corresponding element represents the EventTarget. For these event listeners, useCapture is set to false. If the attribute representing the event listener is changed, this corresponds to the removal of the previously registered EventListener and the registration of a new one. The relative order of event listeners due to XHTML event attributes versus other event listeners is not defined.

The following defines the mapping from XHTML event attributes to the corresponding DOM3 events:

  • onload - load
  • onunload - unload
  • onclick - click
  • ondblclick - click (except event handler returns if UIEvent.detail < 2)
  • onmousedown - mousedown
  • onmouseup - mouseup
  • onmouseover - mouseover
  • onmousemove - mousemove
  • onmouseout - mouseout
  • onfocus - focus
  • onblur - blur
  • onkeypress - (see below)
  • onkeydown - keydown
  • onkeyup - keyup
  • onsubmit - submit
  • onreset - reset
  • onselect - select
  • onchange - change

The onkeypress attribute is defined by HTML 4 to declare a handler, whose content is the value of the attribute, and which is triggered when a keydown event followed by a keyup event are dispatched, on the same key and on the same focused element.

3.6.12 SVG Event to DOM Event Mapping

See: SVG Tiny 1.2 specification for the event mapping.

3.7 XMLHttpRequest

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the XMLHttpRequest Object.

3.8 Focus Navigation Model

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents, for devices that have a multi directional (2D) joystick input device, must implement a Two Dimensional Focus Navigation with Flattened Children. For guidance see Navigation Models in WICD Core 1.0.

In a static situation, focus should go back to where it came from, when a user navigates back.

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents, should allow activation of hierarchical child elements, using the "Ok" key.

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents, implemented on devices, that have at least two soft keys and no dedicated escape key, should allow deactivation of hierarchical child elements, using longpress Soft2.

3.9 Content Packaging

Conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents should support Multipart/related packaging. These agents will advertise "multipart/related" capability with their HTTP request accept headers.

MIME implementations must in general treat unrecognized subtypes of "multipart" as being equivalent to Multipart/mixed. Agents supporting a WICD Profile are therefore expected to support both, related and mixed.

Implementations preceding this specification may support only Multipart/mixed. These agents advertise "multipart/mixed" with their HTTP request accept headers.

A Definitions

The terms used in this document are specified in Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0.

B Conformance

This specification defines conformance for several classes of products:

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "may", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt). However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

At times, this specification recommends good practice for authors and user agents. These recommendations are not normative and conformance with this specification does not depend on their realization. These recommendations contain the expression "We recommend ...", "This specification recommends ...", or some similar wording.

C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Subset Extensions

NodeList

The org.w3c.dom.NodeList interface, defined in the DOM Core Level 3 Specification must be supported for the HTMLDocument.getElementsByTagName() method.

interface NodeList {
  Node     item(in unsigned long index);
  readonly attribute unsigned long   length;
};

getAttribute and setAttribute methods on Element

The SVG Working Group has resolved that the getAttribute and setAttribute methods were missing from the SVG Tiny 1.2 CR specification uDOM DOM Level 3 Core subset by error. Therefore, the next revision of the SVG Tiny 1.2 specification will include the getAttribute and setAttribute methods on the org.w3c.dom.Element interface.

adoptNode

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#Document3-adoptNode

In addition to the Document interface attributes and methods defined in the SVG Tiny 1.2 uDOM specification, conformant WICD Mobile 1.0 user agents must support the adoptNode method on the Document interface, as defined in the DOM Core Level 3 specification.

D Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Extensions

The CustomEvent type allows applications to use application-domain events. The support for dispatchEvent on EventTarget (in addition to what is supported in the SVG Tiny 1.2 uDOM), provides a way to dispatch the event to the document tree. Finally, support for DocumentEvent provides a way to create CustomEvent instances which can then be dispatched.

CustomEvent

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html#Events-CustomEvent

// Introduced in DOM Level 3:
interface CustomEvent : Event {
  readonly attribute DOMObject detail;
  void     initCustomEventNS(in DOMString namespaceURI, 
                             in DOMString typeArg, 
                             in boolean canBubbleArg, 
                             in boolean cancelableArg, 
                             in DOMObject detailArg);
};

EventTarget

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html#Events-EventTarget

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface EventTarget {
  void    addEventListener(in DOMString type, 
                           in EventListener listener, 
                           in boolean useCapture);

  void    removeEventListener(in DOMString type, 
                              in EventListener listener, 
                              in boolean useCapture);

  // Modified in DOM Level 3:
  boolean dispatchEvent(in Event evt) raises(EventException, DOMException);

  // Introduced in DOM Level 3:
  void    addEventListenerNS(in DOMString namespaceURI,   
                             in DOMString type, 
                             in EventListener listener, 
                             in boolean useCapture, 
                             in DOMObject evtGroup);

  // Introduced in DOM Level 3:
  void    removeEventListenerNS(in DOMString namespaceURI, 
                                in DOMString type, 
                                in EventListener listener, 
                                in boolean useCapture);
};

DocumentEvent

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html#Events-DocumentEvent

Conformant WICD Mobile Profile User Agent must support the following subset of the DocumentEvent interface. Note that in a conformant WICD Mobile Profile User Agent, "CustomEvent" is the only required event type.

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface DocumentEvent {
  Event   createEvent(in DOMString eventType)  raises(DOMException);
};

createEvent
Parameters
eventType of type DOMString

The eventType parameter specifies the name of the DOM Events interface to be supported by the created event object, i.e. "CustomEvent". The CustomEvent init method must be called after creation in order to initialize the Event's values. A user wishing to synthesize some kind of CustomEvent would invoke DocumentEvent.createEvent("CustomEvent"). The CustomEvent.initCustomEventNS method could then be called on the newly created CustomEvent object to set the details of the event to be dispatched.

Return Value
Event

The newly created event object.

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support the Event interface requested. In WICD Mobile 1.0, only the CustomEvent interface is required.

E Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Subset

The normative definition of the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML is defined here.

// File: html2.idl
#ifndef _HTML2_IDL_
#define _HTML2_IDL_

#include "dom.idl"

#pragma prefix "dom.w3c.org"

module html2
{
  typedef dom::DOMString DOMString;
  typedef dom::Document Document;
  typedef dom::NodeList NodeList;
  typedef dom::Element Element;

  interface HTMLElement;
  interface HTMLFormElement;

  interface HTMLDocument : Document {
    NodeList             getElementsByName(in DOMString elementName);
  };

  interface HTMLElement : Element {
    attribute DOMString  id;
    attribute DOMString  className;
  };

  interface HTMLFormElement : HTMLElement {
    void                 submit();
    void                 reset();
  };

  interface HTMLInputElement : HTMLElement {
    attribute boolean    checked;
    attribute DOMString  value;
    void                 select();
  };

  interface HTMLTextAreaElement : HTMLElement {
    attribute DOMString  value;
    void                 select();
  };

  interface HTMLObjectElement : HTMLElement {
    // Introduced in DOM Level 2:
    readonly attribute Document  contentDocument;
  };
};

#endif // _HTML2_IDL_

F Focus Traversal Support

#include "dom.idl"
#include "events.idl"

module wicd
{
  typedef events::EventTarget EventTarget;

  interface FocusNavigation
  {
    void setFocus(in *EventTarget *object) raises(DOMException);
    *EventTarget *getFocus();
  };
}
setFocus

A request to put the focus on the given object.

If this method succeeds:

  • A DOMFocusOut event must be dispatched which has the previously focused object as the event target.
  • After that, a DOMFocusIn event must be dispatched which has the new focused object as the event target.

Whenever the method fails (i.e. a DOMException is raised), the focus must stay on the currently focused object and no DOMFocusOut or DOMFocusIn event is dispatched.

Note:

The User Agent must always have a currently focused object. When the document is loaded, the root document has the focus.

Parameters

in EventTarget object. The object that should receive the focus. Note that this object may be in in the implementing document's tree or in one of the child documents.

No Return value

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERROR: Raised if the requested element is not focusable (i.e. its focusable attribute does not evaluate to true for an SVG element. For XHTML elements, if the element's local name is not one of 'select', 'input', 'textarea', 'a', 'object', 'button' or 'area').

getFocus

Returns the current EventTarget which has focus. Initially, the focus is set on the root WICD root Document object.

H Authoring Guidelines (Non-Normative)

The WICD Mobile specification allows authors to use XHTML, CSS, and SVG together in a predictable way. WICD Core defines basic principles that all comformant content and user agents must apply. Exact language versions and capabilities are defined in the WICD profiles. Content authors are encouraged to see the profiles for guaranteeing use of right feature set.

In addition to this specification, the Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 document provides useful guidelines for delivering content to Web-enabled mobile devices. WICD Mobile is a superset of the capabilities articulated in the default delivery context section of this document.
