Accepting user input

Just as with conventional web pages, you can create a "drop down menu" with a list of possible options for a user to select. How each phone displays this varies considerably, and that should be taken into account when using this feature.

What you do with the selected items is to usually go to a particular page, but it can also be used to send values to a WMLScript, but we are not dealing with that yet.

An example follows...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.
1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>

<wml>

<card id="MainCard" title="This is a first card">
<p align="center">
This is a sample text
<br/><br/>

<select name="x" iname="i">
<option value="d">dog</option>
<option value="c">cat</option>
<option value="h">horse</option>
</select>

</p>
</card>

</wml>
