Page timers
Sometimes you may want a page, such as a title to appear for a few seconds, before displaying the main content of a WAP site. Using the <timer value> tag will enable you to do this. The demonstration below, displays the first card in a deck, then automatically switches to the second card after approximately five seconds. Most applications, would have a site logo in the first card, followed by the WAP page in the second.

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>


<card id="MainCard" title="This is a first card" ontimer="#cardtwo">
<timer value="50"/>
<p align="center">
This card will change automatically in a few seconds
</p>
</card>

<card id="cardtwo" title="This is the second card">
<p align="center">
This is the second card
</p>
</card>
