The basic rule of developing mobile sites is this.

Mobiles use basic Java and XML to get html from websites. Therefore you need to make sure ALL your code is valid in XML/XHTML in-order for it too work. You can do basic PHP functions for a mobile but you must parsel the results in XML/XHTML so you need to specify a header.

In order to "interact" with a cellphone, on keypress etc. You need to use Java. For more information on mobile java programming visit
http://www.phptr.com/articles/artic...0&seqNum=1&rl=1

Does that help any?

I have copied a simple XHTML page from my website regdub.mobi for you to see how I developed it

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.3//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml13.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
 	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
  	<title>RegisterDub</title>	   
</head>
<body>
<img src="logo_wap.gif" /><br />
<a href="renew.php">Renew</a><br />
<a href="pricing.php">Pricing</a><br /><br />
<b>Register</b><br />

<form method="POST" action="">
<input type="text" name="tld" /> .<select name="sld">
<option>com</option>
<option>net</option>
<option>org</option>
<option>info</option>
<option>mobi</option>
<option>biz</option>
<option>us</option>

<option>bz</option>
<option>tv</option>
<option>in</option>
</select>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
<br />
Copyright 2006 RegisterDub
</body>
</html>


Notice that most my functions have ending / that is a must for XHTML programming. You also need the <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.3//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml13.dtd"> for it to work properly.

Good Luck!

- Steve

Ok, what you do is open up the .xhtml file in notepad and save as .html

Add this line inside your head tags:

Quote:
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;charset=utf-8' />



As long as you have the correct format/language for .mobi, it should be fine in both pc browsers and mobile devices.

It works but it is ok to use both.

As according to Mobi guidelines we have to use only format for mobile.

If we use format like this, they can disable our domain or cancel the registation.

I think they should be fine as we are using both for mobile and for desktop ??????

one more interesting fact:

Just now tried mobi page with .html or .xhtml extension in follwing URL

http://emulator.mtld.mobi/emulator.php (Page given by .mobi to test the website)

When I tried the .html it worked fine but same time when tried .xhtml it didn't work

Any help ???????????

You need to give us your page address.

Also try entering it into this checker...it gives you the errors on your page:

Looks like problem with my hosting.

Just now tried uploading files in other hosting and it is working fine.

I need to investigate why it is not working in my hosting.

Looks like my hosting is not able to recognise .xhtml

Depends on the mobile / pda, most of the higher end phones can and will play 3gp / mp4 / Flash etc.

Tampa.mobi passed verification after using the checker and referencing Kerrijo's Pokerhands.mobi. Regular html will need some modification. The validator provides hints for altering source code to eliminate errors.

But this is not regular HTML. It is XHTML (XML + HTML) so checking at w3 won't work really. The best way to do this is just add a xml thing to the top of the page (see my example post) and call via a browser and fix any errors you come up.

Tampa.mobi looks good on the emulator! (I see you are using the access keys, good job! I have to do that for my sites too.)

Google.mobi is not working on a Sony? Interesting...

As for my site, I just tested Muf.mobi, and it too is not working on either one, so I guess I don't know what I am supposed to do...
