I'm looking to develop an XHTML Basic web site specifically intended to work
on mobile / handheld devices. I foresee no problem with doing that, except
for one specific necessity that does not seem to be addressed. I need to
send commands to the server through a URL when the user clicks an image,
button, etc.
To my knowledge, there are several ways to do this in traditional HTML.
1. Create a frameset (with one frame set to a height of zero to be
invisible), or iframe. <a href="http://example.com/cgi?do=action"
target="zeroframe"> would easily do that.
2. Use javascript to send the command. var z = new Image(0,0); z.src =
"http://example.com/cgi?do=action"
Neither of these techniques seem to be possible in XHTML Basic, as
javascript is not something one should rely on with a mobile device, and it
specifically says frames are not part of it.
I understand that it is intended to be a modular specification, but is there
any way to perform this action while still remaining within the confines of
XHTML Basic?
Thank you for your time,
-- Mike
