In the WAP browser, theapplication area is divided as follows: 30 pixels title bar on the top, a WML rendering area, and anoptions list on the left side. The width of options list is 100 pixels, but it is displayed only if there areactive do elements on the card. So, depending on the presence of options list, the WML rendering areawidth is between 390 and 490 pixels. The dimensions in full screen mode are 525 and 625 pixels. Theheight is always 165 pixels.The vertical scroll bar is visible when the vertical length of the active card exceeds the screen size. Thehorizontal scroll bar is visible only when a table or a non-breaking paragraph exceeds the screenwidth.On the left side of the card is the options list, which lists all currently active do element labels withtheir possible icons and hotkeys. The narrow indicator area and CBA are visible unless in full screenmode.The user can switch focus between the card and the options list with the tab key.The title bar is divided in two parts. On the left, the title of the card is shown. On the right, the title ofthe active element is shown. If both titles are too long to fit the title bar, the title of the active elementis displayed as whole and the title of the card is truncated or, both of them are truncated.
