Hi, everyone. I posted this question on Iliad Content a few hours ago but it doesn't seem like anybody was interested.

I was wondering if anybody has had any experience trying to create and navigate to alternate document views as described in the HTML section of 'How to Create Content for Your Iliad'. This document says to simply drop a <link> tag in the document with the attribute 'rel' set to 'alt' and 'href' set to the target page. I started to feel that perhaps the advice in the document was a bit misguided as I cross referenced the recommended attributes against the HTML 4.01 standard and found that the rel attribute can have a value of 'alternate', but it doesn't mention 'alt'.

Anyway, I made a couple of HTML docs and dropped this tag in at every meaningful point in the file (in <head></head> in <body></body>, etc.) but a long press on the confirm key always does nothing.

Has anybody else tried this or had any luck with it?
