The getDefaultActionDesign method specifies which preferred type of interface element is to be used for the display of actions.

The following are actions:

• Navigation steps (links)
• Processing steps that affect the current screen (for example save, delete, scroll)
• Initiation of device-specific actions, for example phone calls or starting an application on the mobile device.

These interface elements include buttons, links and soft keys. The latter are specifically for WAP-enabled devices. The selection of a specific interface element for executing functions depends on the requesting mobile device. For HTML markup, mainly buttons and links are used to execute these functions, while links and soft keys are normally used for WAP-enabled devices.
