Mobiles :: Web Application - Alignment In Browsers?
Apr 9, 2010
We are creating an web application in VS 2008 to be used in smart phone. We are not using any MOBILE templates. The issue we are facing is the controls get to the top left corner of the page and is so tiny in other browsers but NOT IE. We have to ZOOM in the page to read the text and the access the controls. In IE it gets to the controls to be viewed. (We had issues here too, but not sure what fixed, but now it gets auto zoomed). Any lights on what need to be done to acheive this?
What is the best way to respond to browsers that have a small form factore (ie mobile devices)? Is there a way to have it return a different aspx page if the size is below a set number?
We have our site which user accesses from desktop browser as www.domainname.org now I am working on mobile version of the same. I came to know that some mobile sites have URL as [URL] so i thought of making our site as accessible from both domainnames I am using WS 2008 & IIS 7.0.
At my current place of employment, a university, we are going to take a stab at making a mobile browser-oriented section of our web site. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some good resources that they know of for such a thing. Primarily, names of books would be nice, but any kind of resource at this point would be extremely helpful. We are approaching this as more of an HTML project at the moment, so the resources don't need to be Asp.Net based, but such things would be great too.
wanted to know what is the easiest way to interface a mobile phone device with an online system. I have literally NO knowledge in this domain. However, I am brainstorming on possibility of an online application that will allow me to backup my data in nokia set 3110 such as my Address book in the application and restore it. This I want to achieve without connecting my phone to any PC. I am thinking on some way to achieve this by leveraging mobile phone line only. I beleive it may require my application to connect to mobile phone through mobile phone network. Currently my mobile phone line subscriber is offering Address Book backup/ restore service with some charge. I want to see if I can replicate similar features. I would really appreciate if you can give a direction to my random thoughts.If anything is not clear then please feel free to inquire. I look forward to your kind response.
designing a view for Mobile browsers in ASP.NET MVC framework. I am new to this mobile web application development. I learned already how to provide a diffrent view when the request comes from a mobile browser. but now i need to learn, how to design the view with a good look and feel. I have demo this weekend with my client so i would appriciate if some one respond imidiately.
Is it possible to embed an external application inside the browser (IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox) so it will look like a native web application but actually having access to the USB ports of the client machine? I have heard that I need to make an ActiveX control. I would like to use the .Net framework, but if that is not possible, maybe using Java or C++ will be fine.
I have to make an application that will allow to the users to connect an external device to an USB port, this device will take a backup of the information contained in a SIM card and send it to the user's account online agenda. So the user can restore it later using the same application. This should be a web application or at least look like one.
If the first is not possible. Is there any way to launch an external application from all the browsers, and then pass information to the browser window to allow it to refresh after the backup has been made?
i am developing a PDA application in ASP.net......ok, the point is, on my form i have a text box , in which the text appears after the Bar Code is being read through the BarCode Reader....but immediately after it with pressing the Cancel Button (which is also placed on tha same form) the event of this button trigers automatically.....I have checked the Handle statement which is Handles btnCancel.click, and one more thing the auto-post back property of textbox is true.
I got an application to support, it's an asp.net web project, on the 1.1 dot.net framework.It's all ok, with the application, when it runs on web brownsers, and when I try run it from inside a blackberry mobile phone it runs ok too, except when I try to execute an Response.Redirect("some_page_of_my_app.aspx").It always goes to the default page (login page), and ask for login again, and I never can do a redirect.
This is the first time i am going to develop asp.net web application for mobiles. All these while i thought there are seperate project templates available in VS2008 and VS2010 as i used to see them in VS2003. Now it is missing. I have also seen assemplies(System.Web.Mobile) available in .net framework for mobile based web controls. I googled, i did not find any convincing results :(.
Do i need to use the same Asp.net WebSite template for both desktop browsers and mobile browsers just by considering the screen layout?. that is i should detect if the request is from desktop browsers use one type of layout and other for mobile browsers. If my understanding is right? how do i test those web pages for different mobile models?
Many websites shows about how to run mobile pages on emulators...Actually how to run it in actual (real) mobile phonewant to use my own mobile as the real mobile phone to run the mobile pages and if possible.Can i run it like web application. Run in localhost?

I m starting to learn create mobile application using asp.net and also a javascript.can give me some suggestion or any reference website for guide for begineers.
I am developing asp.net application that will be used primarily on iPhones. On one of the forms I have a textbox where users enter a date. I am using a javascript calendar on that same box so its easier for users to enter dates. But when a user clicks on this field in iPhone, the phone brings up its own menu (with keyboard) on top of my javascript calendar. That makes it look very ugly as a user now has to click on Done to close that keyboard and onyl then start using the calendar. Is there a way to prevent iPhone from displaying this keyword?
