The following list explains some of the HTML features that are not
currently supported by dcBrowser. Contact your local Intermec
representative to determine which features will be implemented in future
releases.
• HTML tags that are inappropriate for the devices. These tags are either
implemented as far as possible or ignored. The dcBrowser gateway filters
the HTML tags that are beyond the device's capability.
• Plug-ins or other extension mechanisms, such as Java or ActiveX.
• Client-side scripting languages, such as JavaScript or JScript.
• Graphics. dcBrowser supports the image tag by using the alternate text
attribute (ALT). The device displays the ALT text instead of the graphic.
• HTML-like security.
• Audible alerts, other than the standard beeps for the device. You can
sound an optional beep a chosen number of times when the device
displays a new screen.
• Cookie support is limited to the session.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has recommended that web
browsers support the following HTML v3.2 tags. The device supports each
of the tags in one of these three ways:
• The device displays the tag as expected and documented in an HTML
reference manual.
• The device displays the text; however, since the device only supports one
font, it displays the text, but ignores the attributes.
• The device ignores the tag.
For a complete description of HTML tags, see an HTML reference manual.
