Hi David -

>>It makes coping with IE 6/7 look like a game played by children...<<

Great, just what I wanted to hear (and had already half-expected).

Thanks for all of the great links!

Cole

Hello David and Ryan -

Thanks very much for the information - very helpful.

If anyone else would like to weigh-in on standards issues (and/or mobile
standard tutorials, gotcha's, etc.) surrounding site development for mobile
devices, please do... Should be a great help to many of us.

Cole

This emulates Opera Mini. You can get a downloadable Opera Mobile emulator
at http://www.opera.com/developer/tools/ . It isn't strictly an emulator. It
is the actual browser ported to Windows/Mac/Linux, but it is easier to name
it that way.

It comes as part of the SDK package for iPhone at least. An emulator also
comes as part of the Palm (It is a copy of the OS that you have to run
through a virtual machine like VirtualBox) SDK, and the Android SDK.

Hello All -

I've been tasked with setting up a few form pages to be viewed on  
mobile

phone devices.

Currently I'm using Adobe's Device Central - which is okay but it  
really

doesn't show how the forms (particulary select lists) will be shown on
various mobile devices.

I've also tried the online Opera emulator which seems to work pretty  
well


This emulates Opera Mini. You can get a downloadable Opera Mobile

but what about Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Apple, etc., etc.

I've read on-line that for Nokia and Apple you've really gotta  
download

their SDK in order to accuratly test webpages - true?


It comes as part of the SDK package for iPhone at least. An emulator  
also comes as part of the Palm (It is a copy of the OS that you have  
to run through a virtual machine like VirtualBox) SDK, and the Android  
SDK.


Would greatly appreciate any advice from those of this group who  
develop
mobile viewable pages (particulary forms) on where to test your  
efforts for
the best compliant and visual result across the largest number of  
mobile

devices possible.

I've been using a free trial on perfectomobile.com which gives you remote
access to real devices, basically has a webcam setup on the screen. Register
through this 
linkand
it'll give you 7 hour trial instead of the usual 1.
