I have a quick question, and without being too specific,
I have a page of images (small) and the only text is 1 or 2 words
describing the image, I would like to make this my only page (index.xhtml)
Is this possible? Do I need to convert the images to some other kind of file
to make them view properly? Currently they are .gifs

thanks for the help.

I don't see a problem in terms of code compliance. But in terms of usability keep the images smaller for the mobile user.

Thanks scandiman, the images are small and they'll be listed alphabetically
for easier access/navigation.

I`m just starting to learn website development, so maybe someone can tweak this much better.

Cool Firefox plugins for mobile web developers:

MobileStartUp.com

# wmlbrowser - Add WML markup support to your browser.

# XHTML Mobile Profile - Add xHTML MP support to your browser.

# User Agent Switcher - Use this plugin to send the user-agent string of whichever mobile browser you want to emulate. Try a diverse range of user-agents to make sure your app can handle all the different formats.

# ModifyHeaders - Allows you to spoof headers. Use this to add an x-up-subno, x-wap-profile, etc. header to your browser session so your app thinks you are coming from a network operators proxy.

I'm struggling with a piece of javascript code that I need to use in my new .mobi web page... :(

Any suggestions?

My suggestion, don't use javascript. Not supported by most phones.

Is there any alternative scripting technology for mobile devices?

I'm developing a dynamic mobile application, which will return dynamic results based on user inputs, just like google search engine. Which technology should I use to develop such a mobile compatible application?

alright guys...I`m just "trying" to learn not even the ABC but just the A about this.....so please don`t laugh to much at my question:

without hosting I assume I can`t even start to develop Cairns.mobi , so my first problem is the hosting.....where do I get the cheapest /easiest to set one? Is there any free?


Thank you a lot.

Hello,
There is now a lot of info on .mobi development. I am looking for something specific and having a hard time finding it.

I want to learn about basic database function - the best way to approach it - for a dotmobi.

The equivalent of a php form querying an sql database for a few fields of info.

Is a common approach to "convert" an exsisting page/site or is it usually easier to start from scratch?

Mr. Deleted 10-25-2007 04:53 PM

OK how would I make a cell phone page with the new Adsense for Mobile?

PHP Code:
<?php

$GLOBALS
['google']['ad_type']='text';
$GLOBALS['google']['channel']='0063768877';
$GLOBALS['google']['client']='pub-4754215794793251';
$GLOBALS['google']['format']='mobile_single';
$GLOBALS['google']['https']=$_SERVER['HTTPS'];
$GLOBALS['google']['host']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$GLOBALS['google']['ip']=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$GLOBALS['google']['markup']='xhtml';
$GLOBALS['google']['output']='xhtml';
$GLOBALS['google']['ref']=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$GLOBALS['google']['url']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$GLOBALS['google']['useragent']=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
require(
'http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.php');

?>

Try using www.ubik.com (actually the tool is http://mobilizer.ubik.com). They claim to dynamically transcode (ie change formats) for images and content for over 4,000 devices. I created a site using their tool and it seems to work well. I don't think they have advertising implemented though.

I'm a newbie to the forum, and to .mobi

I want ask a very simple question.

I have a domain name - let's call it example.com (as an example)

1) If I purchase mexample.mobi are there any associated issues?

Reason why I ask is when I type google.com in my mobile, it looks quite different to google.com on a browser.

2) Is there some redirection here, perhaps?

Thanks for your help in advance.
