HTML 4.01 tags and attributes

Table A-1 lists the HTML 4.01 tags and attributes from the W3C spec, indicating those that are supported by the AvantGo Client. This table includes CSS attributes.

Supported and non-supported features are indicated as follows:

Bold text (e.g., <a> tag): HTML 4.01 feature supported by the AvantGo Client

Plain text (e.g., Anchor object): HTML 4.01 feature not supported by the AvantGo Client

Note: Where the AvantGo Client does not support a tag from the HTML 4.01 spec, Table A-1 does not list the individual attributes and event handlers for that tag.

Note: Some features of HTML 4 related to fonts, which are listed as supported by the AvantGo Client in Table A-1, are not supported by certain hardware platforms. In general, Palm OS and RIM platforms support a more limited set of font options.

Note: The AvantGo Client support for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS 1.0) is limited to style attribute properties. External and inline style sheets are not supported in AvantGo Client 5.x. For a list of style attribute properties supported, see CSS level 1 style attribute properties.
