Wireless Application Protocol, WAP, WAP Basics

The WAP protocol was conceived to brandish internet-contents on wireless purchasers, like wireless phones.

WML is the dialect utilised to conceive slips to be brandished in a WAP browser.

In our WAP tutorial you will find out about WAP and WML.

You will find out how to adjust your HTML slips to pouch format, in alignment that your facts and numbers can be accessed from wireless purchasers, like wireless phones.

What You Should Already Know

Before you continue you should have a rudimentary comprehending of the following:

* HTML
* JavaScript
* XML

What is WAP?

The wireless business came up with the notion of WAP. The topic of this standard was to brandish internet contents on wireless purchasers, like wireless phones.

* WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol
* WAP is an proposal attachment protocol
* WAP is utilised to get get access to to services and information
* WAP is inherited from Internet standards
* WAP is for handheld apparatus for demonstration wireless phones
* WAP is a protocol conceived for micro browsers
* WAP endows the conceiving of world very broad world broad web submissions for wireless devices.
* WAP standards the mark-up dialect WML (not HTML)
* WML is distinuished as an XML 1.0 application

The Wireless Application Protocol

The WAP protocol is the premier standard for facts and numbers services on wireless terminals like digital wireless phones.

The WAP standard is founded on Internet assesses (HTML, XML and TCP/IP). It comprises of a WML dialect specification, a WMLScript specification, and a Wireless Telephony Application Interface (WTAI) specification.

WAP is issued by the WAP Forum, founded in 1997 by Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, and Unwired Planet. Forum constituents now comprise over 90% of the worldwide handset market, as well as premier infrastructure providers, programs developers and other organizations.

WAP Micro Browsers

To fit into a little wireless mortal, WAP standards a Micro Browser.

A Micro Browser is a little part of programs that makes negligible assertions on hardware, recollection and CPU. It can brandish facts and numbers in composing in a guarded mark-up dialect called WML.

The Micro Browser can furthermore realise a declined kind of JavaScript called WMLScript.

What is WML?

WML stands for Wireless Markup Language. It is a mark-up dialect inherited from HTML, but WML is founded on XML, so it is much stricter than HTML.

WML is utilised to conceive slips that can be brandished in a WAP browser. Pages in WML are called DECKS. Decks are assembled as a set of CARDS.

What is WMLScript?

WML standards WMLScript to run very easy cipher on the client. WMLScript is a lightweight JavaScript language. However, WML scripts are not embedded in the WML pages. WML slips only comprises quotations to script URLs. WML scripts need to be amassed into byte cipher on a server before they can run in a WAP browser.

WAP Basics

WAP Homepages

WAP homepages are not very distinct from HTML homepages. The markup dialect utilised for WAP is WML (Wireless Markup Language). WML standards tags - just like HTML - but the syntax is stricter and conforms to the XML 1.0 standard.

WML slips have the elongation *.WML, just like HTML slips have the elongation *.HTML.
WML Tags

WML is mostly about text. Tags that would slow down the attachment with handheld apparatus are not a part of the WML standard. The use of benches and images is powerfully restricted.

Since WML is an XML proposal, all tags are case perceptive ( is not the equal as ), and all tags should be rightly closed.

WML Decks and Cards

WML slips are called DECKS. They are assembled as a set of CARDS, affiliated to each other with links. When a WML sheet is accessed from a wireless phone, all the cards in the sheet are downloaded from the WAP server. Navigation between the cards is completed by the phone computer - central the phone - without any added get get access to to excursions to the server.

Semi-Final--(Overs to be decided on the ground)

Match 1. Group A Winner I Vs. Group B Winner II

Match 2. Group A Winner II Vs. Group B Winner I

FINAL: Winner Match 1 Vs. Winner Match 2

Rules:

1. During the league matches the teams need to have Minimum 2 and maximum 3 replacements for the 2^nd match. This is to allow more participation (since each team has around 15 members) of the members in all teams. This will not be applicable during the semis and finals.
2. There will be 8 overs per innings:
   1. ONLY one bowler can bowl a max. of 3 overs.
   2. Each team will have to use a minimum of four bowlers.
3. In the event of a No ball (due to over stepping) a Free Hit will be awarded to the batting side. On a free hit delivery the batsmen can be out only in the event that he is run out.
4. The rules for a No & Wide ball are as per standards. An additional delivery and one run would be added to the batting team’s score.
5. A TIE would mean that the scores of both teams are tied. WICKETS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
6. In the event of a Tie (applicable for ALL league, semi final and final matches):
   1. A BOWL out will be applied.
   2. 3 bowlers from each team will be given a chance to hit the stumps.
   3. The team hitting the stumps the most number of times will be the winner.
   4. In case the teams are tied after 3 tries then the result will be decided by sudden death:

i. Each captain will select one bowler (excluding the 3 who have already bowled) each.

ii. So the result will be decided on the basis of which of these two are successful.

iii. In case the teams are still tied a new bowler from each side will try till we reach a conclusion.

iv. In the event that all 11 players are used then the earlier bowlers can be used again.

7. At the end of the league matches if teams within a group are tied then the two semifinal teams, from that group, will be selected on the basis of net run rate.

HOW NET RUN-RATE IS CALCULATED .......

Net run-rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that a team throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.

For example: India's net run-rate in the super six is calculated as follows:

	R1	R2	R3	R4	R5	B1	B2	B3	B4	B5	Total Runs	Total Overs	R/r	Net R/r
For India:	253	249	205	227	251	300	276	300	300	300	1185	246	4.82	-0.153
Against India:	254	252	282	180	253	284	300	300	300	290	1221	245.4	4.97

R = runs scored in each match

B = balls faced in each match

R/r = India's run-rate is calculated as 1185 / 246 = 4.817 (4.82)

R/r = India's opponents run-rate is calculated as 1221 / 245.4 = 4.970 (4.97)

Net run-rate (Net R/r) is calculated as India's r/r (4.817) minus India's opponets r/r (4.970) = a negative 0.153 (since India's r/r is less than the opponent's r/r)

Note:

In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run-rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed. (For example: refer table R3 and B3 above. India against Australia were all out for 205, so B3 is 300 balls and not 290 (48.2 overs) - the actual balls required for India to make these runs).

But in case the team chasing reaches the score before the stipulated overs then that will be considered as the number of overs for calculation.

Internet Explorer Protected mode and Vista Support

Internet Explorer Toolbar Development

Some of the key Purposes of toolbar usages are as follows:

• For easy navigation of websites.
• For easy navigation of search keywords.
• For keeping the bookmarks of the websites.
• For creation of toolbar buttons by dragging and dropping the URLs
• For Blocking the Popup
• For giving notifications to users for IE Events
• For capturing the contents of webpage
• For getting the content of RSS Feeds.

What is Internet Explorer Protected in VISTA?
Internet Explorer's Protected Mode is a new feature in Microsoft Vista Operating System, and is one of the pieces of User Account Control (UAC). Protected mode is designed to protect the computer by restricting the parts of the system that code running in the IE process can affect. If a malicious web page exploits a code-injection bug in IE or an IE plug-in, that code will not be able to do damage to the system.

Vista introduces a new attribute on securable objects called the mandatory integrity level. There are four levels:

• System: Used by OS components, should not be used by applications.
• High: Processes that are running elevated with full admin rights.
• Medium: Processes launched in the normal fashion.
• Low: Used by IE and Windows Mail to provide protected mode.

The information that Windows keeps about a process includes which integrity level it was launched with. This level can never change once the process is started, it can only be set at the time the process is created. A process's integrity level has three main effects:

1. Any securable objects that the process creates get that same integrity level.
2. The process cannot access a resource whose integrity level is higher than the process's own level.
3. The process cannot send window messages to a process that has a higher integrity level.

To determine if our extension is running in a protected mode IE process, we use IEIsProtectedModeProcess which will return the BOOL Parameter whether protected or not.

How to develop a toolbar for and VISTA support?
Most of the plug-ins need Registry and/or File system access for reading and/or writing operations, these operations can be done without problem when Internet Explorer Protected mode is Disable.

When protected mode is enabled, an extension can only write to a few directories under the user's profile. There are special low-integrity directories under the TEMP, Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, and Favorites directories that are writable. Internet explorer also has some compatibility shims, which virtualizes other commonly-used directories. I haven't seen a full list of those "common directories Write operations to those directories will be redirected to a subdirectory of Temporary Internet Files. If an extension tries to write to a sensitive location, like the Windows directory, the operation will fail.

Developers need to use VISTA SDK for getting the File system Writable Location for downloading any files OR for doing any File system operations.

VISTA SDK can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ff6467e6-5bba-4bf5-b562-9199be864d29&displaylang=en

How to Enable / Disable Internet explorer Protected Mode?
From control panel open your Windows Login User account settings from those settings…
Click on Turn User Account Control on or off

From that Screen make sure Use User Account Control (UAC) to help Protect your computer option is Un-Checked for Disabling Internet Explorer Protected mode (Once settings is changed you must need to Restart your PC).
