The following elements let you bind a task to an event:
Specifies a task to be executed when an intrinsic event occurs. An intrinsic event is generated when a user
onevent
interacts with an element in the WML deck. For example, a user entering a card via the go element is an intrinsic
event.
Specifies a task to be executed when an extrinsic event occurs. An extrinsic event is generated when a user presses
do
a key on the device. For example, a user pressing a soft key is an extrinsic event.
You can add these event-binding elements to both cards and templates. When you add a do element or onevent
element to a template, the events apply to all the cards in a deck.
