Forms

  • Only one form is allowed per page.
  • Only one submit button is allowed per page.
  • You must properly employ form and input tags in your document-per W3C standards.
  • If you are having AvantGo host your data-collection, leave the action attribute blank; we will set it for you.
  • Use of an image as a submit button is not supported.
  • In general, use menus instead of radio buttons. They take up less real estate and are faster and easier to navigate.
  • Long values in drop-down menus may cause a horizontal scrollbar to appear and the menu may stretch off the page. Keep your values brief. The 34-character rule, including spaces, applies here too.
  • We recommend setting the width of text fields to 16 (the maximum width a PalmOS device will display before going off screen) and keeping them on their own line. Please also set the maxlength attribute to 128 or lower.
