wml provides you an option to link various cards using links and then navigate through different cards.
there are two wml elements, <anchor> and <a>, which can be used to create wml links.
wml <anchor> element:
the <anchor>...</anchor> tag pair is used to create an anchor link. it is used together with other wml elements called <go/>, <refresh> or <prev/>. these elements are called task elements and tell wap browsers what to do when a user selects the anchor link
you can enclose text or image along with a task tag inside <anchor>...</anchor> tag pair.
the <anchor> element supports the following attributes:
| attribute | value | description |
|---|---|---|
| title | cdata | defines a text identifying the link |
| xml:lang | language_code | sets the language used in the element |
| class | class data | sets a class name for the element. |
| id | element id | a unique id for the element. |
following is the example showing usage of <anchor> element.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!doctype wml public "-//wapforum//dtd wml 1.2//en"
"http://www.wapforum.org/dtd/wml12.dtd">
<wml>
<card title="anchor element">

<anchor>
<go href="nextpage.wml"/>
</anchor>
</p>
