Browser Features and Behavior

This section presents the technologies that have been implemented in the 4630 IP Telephone Web

Access application, along with any limitations or non-standard implementations. Since style sheets

have become the preferred mechanism for controlling web page appearance and have made

obsolete most attribute specifications with tags, the majority of attributes for tags were not tried.

The attributes that were tested were those of real interest to specific tags. The browser is HTML

4.0 compliant, with a few minor differences as noted below.

In the sub-sections that follow, comments specific to the 4630 IP Telephone and its

browser are shown in italics.

Certain tags define the basic framework of an HTML document. While most browsers are normally

good at dealing with missing tags, when style sheets are applied it is essential that the tag

structures be followed. Even ignoring style sheets, it is considered good style to follow the HTML

rules. The following tags make up the basic skeleton of an HTML document:

<html> indicates the start of an HTML document.

<head> indicates the start of an HTML document's header. Title, meta definitions, ECMAScript

function definition, document level style sheet definition, and external style sheet inclusion are

all done in the header section.

<title> sets the title of the document. Normally this is shown in the frame of the browser

window. On the phone, the title is shown in the Top Line Information Display Area.

<body> indicates the start of the body of an HTML document. The rest of the document will be

embedded between the start and end <body> tags.

web walking tools, is of little use in browsers, and has no effect on the phone.
