Graphics Capabilities

When implementing graphics for a mobile channel, consider the following:

• Background images are not supported, even in tables and table cells.
  
  
• Mobile Channels does not support animated Web content, for example, animated GIFs. While the first frame of the animated GIF displays properly, subsequent frames are not displayed at all. The unseen animation also consumes a great deal of storage space on the device.
  
  
• Mobile Channels enables scaling automatically on every new page. Therefore, the device browser may still resize images you have formatted to fit a device screen. Use the <META HTTP-EQUIV=AUTOSIZE CONTENT=OFF> command to avoid resizing. The AUTOSIZE attribute turns off image scaling for the whole page. This is useful if you have a large image you do not want re-rendered, even if the image does not fit the screen.

Note   When creating advertisement graphics, use primarily light or dark gray. Avoid high contrast in images to prevent distracting the user from page content.
