WML - Links
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">

<card title="Anchor Element">

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

</anchor>
</p>
