Using XHTML Extentions to Transform Web Applications for IP Phones

Rather than using Design Studio to create transformations, you can include CTE XHTML extensions in HTML/XML files to indicate transformations for a particular device. For background information and complete instructions on using XHTML extensions, refer to Chapter 8 of the Design Studio User Guide.

XHTML Extension Usage

<SoftKeyItem card="deck | n" URL="value">
name</SoftKeyItem>

Creates a Soft Key on the specified cards. Attributes are as follows:

For the card attribute, specify "deck" (to put the Soft Key on all cards corresponding to the web page) or a card number (for example, "3").
For the URL attribute, specify any of the following:

A link URL, such as "http://www.something.com " or "https://www.something.com".
A dial URI, such as "Dial:555-555-1234" or "EditDial:9-555-555-1234". Dial indicates a number that the user cannot change; EditDial indicates a number that the user can change, such as by adding a prefix or access code.

The child of the SoftKeyItem element, name, is the Soft Key label text.

<input type="text | password" name="name" value="value" _keypad_mode="n" _input_label="label">

<textarea name="name" _keypad_mode="n" _input_label="label">

The _keypad_mode and _input_label attributes are extensions to the input and textarea elements.

The _keypad_mode attribute specifies the input type for an input field. The _keypad_mode attribute corresponds to the Cisco IP phone XML object InputFlag, with the following values:

A (plain ASCII text; the default)
T (telephone number)
N (numeric)
E (equation)
U (uppercase)
L (lowercase)
P (password; used with any of the other InputFlag attributes, such as "AP")

The optional _input_label attribute specifies the prompt that an IP phone will display for the input field. A label can be up to 15 characters.

Suppose that a web page contains an input field for zip code and a text area for a tracking identifier. The input and textarea elements might appear as follows:

<input type="text" name="zip" value="90210" _keypad_mode="N" _input_label="Zip Code"></input>

<textarea name="track" _keypad_mode="U" _input_label="Tracking ID"></textarea>

<meta refresh="n">

Refreshes the card after the number of seconds specified with the refresh attribute. A refresh of "0" means that the card will not refresh or that a refresh set earlier in the card deck will stop.
