Timers

In WML, you can use timers to perform timed actions. A timer measures a time period, and the browser undertakes some action when that period has expired. For example, if I assign a card's ontimer attribute to the ID of another card, the browser will navigate to that card when the timer finishes:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 2.0//EN"
    "http://www.wapforum.org/dtd/wml20.dtd" >
<wml>
    <card id="Card1" ontimer="#card2" title="Timers">
					.
					.
					.
					</card>
    .
    .
    .
