The Card Generator Main Function

Introduction     Implementing    Other Uses

In WML, a Deck consists of one or more Cards which are the units displayed by the micro-browser implemented in WAP telephones and other handheld WAP devices.  This Deck/Card structure is built in to the Websydian architecture by scoping Card Generator functions under the Deck Generator.

Card Generator functions are internal 'Page Generator' functions called from a Deck Generator function.  One Card Generator function is defined for each Card in the WML Deck, and each Card Generator generates exactly the Card portion of the WML Deck sent to the WAP user.

Each Card Generator automatically inherits a Card Template Generator function which is called by the Deck Template Generator function. The Card Template Generator function generates the Card portion of the overall WML Deck Template.
