Elsewhere, in this thread:
"In working with the MOBI emulator, it appears that none of the popular email programs work properly. Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo mail. Gmail won't even successfully log you in. Hotmail and Yahoo Mail will let you view your inbox. But when composing an email, you can enter an email address and subject, but are not allowed to enter text in the body of the message (most important).
Has anyone else noticed this? If you'd like to try them out ..."

For the rest, I see lots of trouble about programming.
Why make it so complicated when simple W3 html works fine on all phones?

Or, is it only allowed to prize .mobi into heaven?

Made those changes. Still fails against the mobi site checker.

http://southamptoncasino.mobi is the site in question.

I'm no expert but one of my sites scores 4 out of 5 and my coding is different at the top:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

Another of my sites developed using mobisitegalore.com and scores 5 out of 5 has this coding at the top:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

You have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Try that. Also I had a problem with my one site not being viewable (I saved as a .html file instead of .xhtml file) and I contacted support at mobisitegalore.com and this was their reply (I see you have some .html pages in your index)
----------------------
Issue: Your website is serving a HTML page (not generated by mobiSiteGalore) when user tries just the domain name. It is serving mobiSiteGalore generated pages only when the domain name is followed by index.xhtml (Example: sitename.mobi/index.xhtml). Additionally, the site is not browsable with IE browser.

Solution: Please add the below directives to your Apache httpd.conf or .htaccess file and remove the HTML pages not suitable for Mobile devices. If you are not sure how to do this, please get in touch with your web host.

AddType text/html .xhtml
DirectoryIndex index.xhtml

Hope this helps.

The code as it is now is fine. Save it as a .htm file and see if you validate.

Still fails on Your page does not use XHTML Mobile Profile. The other failures and warnings can be sorted but.

I've emailed mobi tld directly on this now to see if they can tell me why it fails.

EDIT Well I tried to email them but their contact email on teh page for developer@mtld.mobi bounces, class :(

EDIT 2 : :) Got it working. The first failure was linked to the invalid markup....now got my template for a 5/5 at last. Thanks for the replies....

i also want to develop a mobi site....

cobo 03-15-2007 09:54 AM

Hey,
Why no other recent links in here? Perhaps we should start putting Magazine Articles and Press Release links in here to keep all late breaking info in one place. Sure would beat trying to scrounge through all of these posts looking for the latest news. We have this as a sticky so lets use it. What do you think?

Voice Search = AWESOME !!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :) That site rocks! rep added

My template finally scored 5/5 and is viewable in FF & IE6 (dunno about IE7, I had to rollback IE7 because it corrupted javascript files necessary for Dreamweaver MX)

New Mobisitegalore 2.0
 
All I can say is WOW and THANK YOU.

I have no excuse now to not develop my sites.
I asked for forms way back ..and you did it.

We do need a way of placing ADs. That is the only thing I can think of that you have not already done.

Thanks for your hard work!

OVT.mobi
 
OVT.mobi :imho: could be a useful item to have in this thread, this will enable domainers and developers find OVT keyword scores and enable them to reg them all from the same website via their mobile device.
