Editing Mobile browser (section)

==Underlying technology==
The mobile browser usually connects via the [[cellular network]], or increasingly via [[Wireless LAN]], using standard [[HTTP]] over [[TCP/IP]] and displays web pages written in [[HTML]]. Historically, early feature phones were restricted to only displaying pages specifically designed for mobile use, written in [[XHTML Mobile Profile]] ([[WAP 2.0]]), or [[Wireless Markup Language|WML]] (which evolved from [[Handheld Device Markup Language|HDML]]). WML and HDML are stripped-down formats suitable for transmission across limited bandwidth, and wireless data connection called [[Wireless Application Protocol|WAP]]. In Japan, DoCoMo defined the [[i-mode]] service based on i-mode HTML, which is an extension of Compact HTML (C-HTML), a simple subset of HTML.

WAP 2.0 specifies XHTML Mobile Profile plus WAP CSS, subsets of the W3C's standard XHTML and CSS with minor mobile extensions.

Smartphone mobile browsers are full-featured Web browsers capable of HTML, [[CSS]], [[ECMAScript]], as well as mobile technologies such as WML, i-mode HTML, or cHTML.
To accommodate small screens, they use [[Post-WIMP]] interfaces.
