What's different between HTML and WML/WAP?

I checked the source of a few WAP sites,

but doesn't find anything different from a normal HTML page.

Can you name a few detailed points?

Solution

  • Well, WAP/WML is very strict when it comes to markup because the page needs to be compiled before delivery to the client device.

    As for specifics,

    • WAP "pages" can have more than one "card". (Confusing? I know...)
    • Although not markup related, accepted image formats are more limited
    • Do not forget a DOCTYPE!
    • Content must be served with the text/vnd.wap.wml MIME type
