Letting users bookmark your service

UP.Browser bookmarks are similar to conventional Web browser bookmarks. When a user bookmarks a card, the UP.Browser creates a bookmark that consists of two items:

A label that identifies the bookmark--this label comes from the title attribute within the <card> definition. If you do not specify a card title, the UP.Browser uses the first line of display text as the bookmark label.

The URL to open when the user selects the "ookmark.

All decks default to markable, content="true". The following example illustrates how to set a deck to be not bookmarkable:

<wml>

<head>

<meta content="false" name="vnd.up.markable" forua="true"/>

</head>

...

</card>

</wml>

When a user bookmarks a card, the UP.Browser automatically sets the bookmark URL to the URL for the deck. If you want to use a different URL, you can specify a <meta> element (of type vnd.up.bookmark) in the deck header using the following syntax:

where url is the URL you want to use for the bookmark.

IMPORTANT Because the UP.Apps bookmark application resides on the UP.Link Server, you must use the UP.Simulator in UP.Link mode to test your bookmarks. For more information on using the UP.Simulator, see the UP.SDK Tools and APIs Guide.
