Creating HTML-based Elements

HTML elements are pieces of HTML code that you can arrange within a mobile application with other element types.

Creating an HTML element

From the Mobile Development perspective, select File|New|Mobile Application.
Alternatively, right-click the Mobile Applications folder, and select Create New Mobile Application With|HTML Element.
When the New Mobile Application wizard appears, select Launch Element Wizard, select HTML from the Element Type drop-down list and click Finish.
In the HTML Element window, complete these options:
- Charset – allows you to change the character set used for displaying the mobile application in a Web browser from the default of iso-8859-1. Select Add New, and enter the character set name in the text box provided if the character set name does not already exist in the drop-down list. Some character sets require you to install the corresponding language pack to preview the mobile application. Follow the Language Pack Installation wizard for instructions.
- Enable Grid Rules – select this option to establish grid rules for your HTML element. See Rules and Record Layout for more information.
- HTML – enter the HTML code; for example:
```
   

<IFRAME STYLE="width:100%;  height:552;"
SRC="http://www.marketwatch.com/tools/marketsummary/default.asp">
</IFRAME>
```
- Preview – previews the rendered HTML.
When you are satisfied with your entries, click Next. If you selected Enable Grid Rules, you can establish those rules in the next screen.
Select Finish when done.
