Web Clipping Meta Tags

1) PalmComputingPlatform - Identifies your page as a Palm Friendly™ page: one that has been designed to work well on a small screen and isn't wasteful of bandwidth. When you include this tag, images will be rendered and the entire text will be displayed on the device. Otherwise, images will be stripped out and only the first 1024 bytes of your page will display. Use this META tag on all of your local pages and clippings.

<meta name="PalmComputingPlatform" content="true">

2) HistoryListText - Specifies the user-visible string for each clipping displayed in the history pop-up menu. Use this META tag on all of your clippings.

<meta name="HistoryListText" content="true">

3) PalmLauncherRevision: - Sets the version string for your web clipping application. To be used on the main index (or root) page of your web clipping application. This string can be viewed in the Info window of the Applications Launcher (tap Menu->Info->Version).

<meta name="PalmLauncherRevision" content="X">

where X is "1.0", "2.0"

4) Developers are strongly encouraged not to send graphics over the wireless network, since that slows transmission, can quickly consume the user's monthly traffic quota, and reduces the life of the batteries in the device. However, you can store graphics and HTML pages locally to the device (within a web clipping application) and these graphics and pages can be referenced by a page pushed down from your server, even when those graphics and HTML pages aren't normally displayed as part of the web clipping application. Use the following META tag to store graphics and HTML pages not otherwise referenced from any of the pages that comprise the web clipping application:

<meta name="LocalIcon" content="sun.gif">

then to refer to it from inside of a local page do:

<img src="sun.gif">

To refer to it from a clipping use the following syntax:

<img src="file:application.pqa/sun.gif">
