The secure icon, whether generated by the Web Clippng program (as in this case) or added into a graphic, always has the over the air icon next to it.
When you build a link into your PQA, the Palm VII automatically adds an "over-the-air " (three little lines facing to the right, as shown in Figure 16-1) to indicate that tapping will expend some of the user’s monthly kilobyte allowance. For this reason, be sure to leave a character’s worth of space at the end of your links. Similarly, to use use a graphic as a link, include an over-the-air icon in the lower-right corner of the image. (The Palm VII doesn’t automatically add this icon to graphics.)
The Palm VII supports HTTPS, the secure version of the hyperlink protocol. When a link will cause a secure over-the-air link, a little key icon appears on the corresponding button, indicating that the link will be secure. Therefore, leave space in your design for both the over-the-air and the secure icon. Naturally, if you use a graphic as a link, you should include the secure icon in the lower-right corner of the graphic.
Once you’ve created all the pieces of your Web document, run the QABuilder application. Choose File -->Open Index, and then open the main HTML file. QABuilder will read this file, automatically tracking all other HTML files and graphics that will be incorporated into the finished PQA.
To compile the PQA, choose File -->Build PQA. In the window that appears, you can specify up where you want the finished PQA saved and what you want it called (see Figure D-3). You can also use the Install to User: command to specify a Palm VII onto which you like this PQA installed at the next HotSync. You can use the Large, Small, and Default buttons to select the icons you want for your PQA as it appears on the Palm VII launcher. Finally, when everything is to your liking, click Build. QABuilder will build the PQA, store it in the directory you specified, and even set it up to install on your Palm VII the next time you HotSync.
Your PQA is ready to fly.
The Palm VII is a phenomenon, and everyone who has one wants more PQAs. The opportunities are is great as when the original PalmPilot debuted -- this is your chance to get in on the ground floor and really make a mark. All you need is some HTML, a few graphics, and enough imagination to fill an area 160 pixels square.
