serverph 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 i don't see any reason why you can't... much of the web can translate well for mobile viewing even in its unaltered code state. you can design your site in plain html or php, and it would be okay, mobile-view-wise. some elements may not translate well, like javascript, ajax, flash, etc... but it's essentially a mobile browser limitation. if you want a wap platform for your site, in wml format, i believe Xisto hosting supports that already. Xisto may be free, but it boasts of features akin to those of paid hosting services. good luck with your future site here on Xisto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minimcmonkey 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2009 If you plan to make a mobile version of your site (or write a script to change your current pages when requested by a mobile browser) ASP.net has built in functions for WAP, so makes it very easy to make mobile sites.

k_nitin_r 8 Report post Posted October 18, 2009 Hi EuroBeat,There are different kinds of mobile devices with varying capabilities. If you're used the Safari web browser on Apple's iPhone, you would be able to view almost any website that works on a standard web browser running on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. (One can't point at any one browser and say it's a "standard web browser" because the standard is quite loose and there are different interpretations of it).On the other hand, if you've got an old Windows Mobile phone, it probably runs Windows Mobile 5 with Internet Explorer 5.5 which makes developing a website that can work with the device much harder because you'd have more quirky layout rendering by the web browser, probably would have problems with Javascript functionality, and is less restrictive therefore leading to security issues.The approach that Microsoft's ASP.NET uses is by identifying the device from the web browser's request and sending back content in a form that is suitable for the device. It involves development with standard controls provided by ASP.NET and setting their properties to get them to changes values or modify appearance and functionality. Java's equivalent is the Java Server Faces, though I haven't had any experience with it to be able to tell you how Java's implementation works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
