.mobi development question

BrainPower · 06-07-2007, 02:15 PM

Has anyone used dropdown for development for .mobi ?
I'm working on crepes.mobi, and it seems the way I did it works through a browser, but not through the emulators.

Are there are examples that you know of on the web?

Thanks for your help!

Surprisingly the list opens up on my phone and I can select a state but the problem is that I can't get to the go button after making the selection.

i think the way i did is doesn't conform to the standards.
I know on amtrak.mobi, it does it when you go to find a station.
But I couldnt replicate the way they did it, had to do it a different way.
If there are any .mobi sites out there that does this, please post here!

Thanks

I use a dropdown menu there. Works on the emulators too

As far as a nav menu though, not all phones support javascript, so that can be a problem. If your server supports php, there's a quick way to do a dropdown navigation that will be supported by all phones, since it's server-side.

Also, I usually spoil myself with phpdesigner when I'm making html forms, so I don't pay as much attention to the code as I should, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a WIDTH option used within the OPTION itself. It usually goes in the SELECT <>'s

I think i have to go the php route as you mention.
IMO from a user interface standpoint, thats the best way to do navigation if your doing state based directories
