Setting up a page

Before you add content to a page, you should set it up and save it as a CHTML page. Then you can set up other page properties such as title and link text color.

To create and set up a page:

1. Choose File > New Page.
2. In the document window menu  (in the upper right side of the document window), choose DocType > i-mode 1.0, i-mode 2.0, or i-mode 3.0.
3. If you are developing a Japanese CHTML site, choose File > Document Encoding > Japanese (Shift_JIS) and click OK.
4. To set the layout view to simulate the page and type size of a phone browser, move the pointer over the document window, and then from the context menu choose View > Browser Profile and then choose a profile from the list. To see the context menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS).
5. To specify a page title, choose Special > Page Properties, and then in the Page Inspector type a title for the page.

Note: The page title is saved as a bookmark name on the phone when users bookmark a page.

6. To set link colors or a page background, choose Special > Page Properties and set options in the Page Inspector. Remember that many users' phones won't display color.

The most efficient way to develop an i-mode site is to set up a stationery page in your site and save it as a CHTML page with your usual browser view selected. Then you can quickly create new pages with these characteristics by opening your stationery page in the site's Stationery folder. For more information on stationery, see Using stationery.

To save a page as CHTML:

1. Choose File > Save As, and then type a file name.
2. Choose Hypertext (.html) from the Save As Type pop-up menu.
3. To save the file in your site folder, choose Root from the Site Folder pop-up menu.
