Creating Mobile Flashcards

One very practical learning application for a mobile device (Cell phone) is flashcards. I created an application that has a small number of questions (almost like a quiz) using MLEX (a mobile page tool I created) so my page will display on both a cell phone or a PC.

One of the design limitations with mobile pages is the lack of JavaScript support. My flashcard application contains no Javascript and uses a linear layout to also work more effectively on a mobile display. Finally, no tables or frames are used because they will also cause problems in mobile browsers.

Graphics have been kept to a minimum and when there is a graphic is is less then 100 pixels so that it fits within the display. Click here to see the web page and use a PC browser to look at the source code. Go to this link on your cell phone and you can run the page and flashcards in its mobile format. Note: you will see tags like

which are used by my MLEX tool to format data.
