I did some minor experimentation when WAP first came out, so my
knowledge is a little rusty

Using CFCONTENT you should be able to tell the browser that it's using
WML, and as long as you use WML tags, then all should work

Dynamic content from CF shouldn't be a problem, as you can create
anything you want, but if you have content which includes HTML, then
you'll have to strip that out

HTH a little bit

Thanks Philip,
Yeah this helps get me pointed in the right direction.

This is a little different subject, but another solution to access web apps
through the phone is using VoiceML. It's far more universal than WML, but
it's audio input/output, not visual. Here's an inexpensive VoiceML
application that can tie to a CFML application:

There are much more scalable solutions out there, but this is a cheap way to
try it out.

Subject: Writing Websites for Phone Web Browsers

I was wondering if anyone has any experience making their websites
accessible via Phone Web-Browsers?

What I am planning to do is check what kind of browser the client is using
and based on that, they would view the WML version of the website.

The thing is how do you program a CF page to be a WML page?
Would you just use the CFContent tag to specify that the page is WML and
just add the ?xml tag?

What about the dynamic parts of the page?

I'm pretty clueless on this matter so if anyone has any experience or advice
I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ali
