+<div><h3>Creating the content</h3><p>Remember the following recommendations when creating content that is specific to a widget displayed in the home screen:</p><ul>
+<li><p>The home screen view is a graphical representation of the WRT widget, and therefore users cannot interact with it.</p><p>Remove all HTML and JavaScript that involves user interaction. For example, interaction with the options list, HTML form elements, data selection (such as JavaScript Service API functions), and refresh buttons.</p><p>Also remove content that includes video, animations, and so on.</p> <p>You may also want to implement timers for operations that are specific to the widget on the home screen, such as network operations, parsing, and refreshing data. </p></li>
+<li><p>Data updates may not be consistent due to network access being suspended during a phone call, low battery, and so on.</p><p>Display the time of last update to assist the mobile device user in determining if the data is current.</p></li>
+<li><p>The home screen view of the widget uses only a small percentage of the display. </p><p>Limit the amount of data displayed. Placing too much content in the home screen view results in a less than optimal widget.</p></li>
+<li><p>The size of the home screen view may vary depending on the state of the device, such as screen orientation (portrait/landscape), the number of widgets on the home screen, and so on. </p><p>Define content so that it scales according to the environment. For example, use relative values such as a percentage of the window width and height for defining styles and relative values such as <code>font-size: large</code> for defining font sizes. </p></li>
+</ul></div>
+<div><h3>Initializing the views</h3><p>Implement code that determines whether to display the widget in either home screen view or full screen view. For more information, see <a href="GUID-5B0BE2FA-9FBB-4B8D-A1CE-219634C9C27A.html#GUID-5B0BE2FA-9FBB-4B8D-A1CE-219634C9C27A">Determining whether to display home screen or full screen</a>. You can initialize the views any way you choose, but we recommend the following approach: </p><ul>
+<li><p>Create separate divisions (<code><div></code>) for the full screen and home screen content in the HTML file containing your content. </p> </li>
+<li><p>Create separate JavaScript files for the full screen and home screen views.</p></li>
+</ul><p>For an example, see <a href="GUID-1812A0D5-74CC-4A94-AF91-970465F6A738.html#GUID-1812A0D5-74CC-4A94-AF91-970465F6A738">Enabling STEW for the home screen</a>.</p></div>
