Supported HTML Features
dcBrowser supports a subset of HTML 3.2 syntax. dcBrowser also supports
the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 1.0 standard. Generally,
dcBrowser supports the tags that provide simple display and data entry

content that cannot be displayed or processed on the data collection
devices.
dcBrowser also supports hypertext links, such as anchor, by assigning them
to the function keys of the device. Since the 700 Series Mobile Computer
does not have function keys, use the stylus to select hypertext links. When
you write your application, be sure you understand the user interface and
screen capabilities of the devices.

Devices can only display one font with no attributes, such as <CITE>. You
may want to use some of the tags to indicate how the text is used, not how
it is displayed on the device. This release supports the heading hierarchy by
using extra spacing and indentation.

You can put your CGI executables into the D:\USERDATA\CGI-BIN
directory, and you can put your web pages into the
D:\USERDATA\HTDOCS directory on the DCS 30X. Once you have
moved your web pages, you must add /user to the URL of the web page.
For example, if you moved RFSIGN.HTM to the
D:\USERDATA\HTDOCS directory, the URL would be /user/rfsign.htm.
Also, if you wanted RFSIGN.HTM to use a CGI executable in the
D:\USERDATA\CGI-BIN directory, you would need to change the
following code:

You would need to make similar changes in CGI.C to allow for the correct
