For the web site I'm building (targeted at mobile users) I'm thinking of using some Ajax controls. I'd like to know which mobile browsers do and don't support Javascript and Ajax, so I can know whether I've at least covered the majority of my target market (i.e. iPhone, Droid, Nokia, Opera). If not, I'll have to find an alternative way of presenting my forms.
View 5 RepliesI have my website up and running, and i've got many respones from surfers that the Accordion object that I have on one of the pages won't openpanes. I geuess that it got something to do with old browsers or security settings, but I'm not sure which. Besides, assuming that it does has somethingto do with old browsers to bad settings, what can i change in the Accordion's settings to make sure it will run on old browsers as well?
View 1 RepliesI am designing ASP.net Web pages and not sure if this would be the right way to do this.I am designing the web sites that will be accessed from either regular computers or mobile devices (phone).I was thinking to detect at very first page that whether users are coming from mobile browser or regular browser and direct to appropriate pages. So for mobile users, create/display separate UIs (rearrange controls to fit on mobile device) and for regular users, create/display separate UIs. The backend functionalities will be same, but just the UIs. Therefore, in this case I will create two separate projects in same solution, one for mobile UIs, and other one for regular UIs, but same code behinds.
View 3 RepliesSo I'd like to redirect mobile users to a different page. But instead of trying to detect any number of mobile browsers, I'd just like to see if the user is using IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera; all other users go to the mobile site. My biggest problem is detecting regular Safari from mobile Safari.
View 1 RepliesI have been using web parts on my site since ASP.NET 2.0 came out. Dragging and dropping web parts works great in Internet Explorer, but it doesn't work at all in Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. I recently upgraded the site to ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, but I am still unable to drag and drop web parts in non-IE browsers. How can I enable drag and drop web parts in these other browsers? Update (2/9/2010): This mentions this problem, but offers no solution: [URL] pdate (2/19/2010):
These posts offer a possible solution, but I have been unable to get it working yet on my site: [URL] In short, these say the drag and drop problem was solved in "ASP.NET Futures (July 2007 release)" but for some crazy reason, was left out of ASP.NET 3.5 SP1. So to solve, you have to download the Futures release at:
http [URL] Then, you need to use the WebPartManager and WebPartZone from the Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI.Controls.WebParts namespace.
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.
View 3 RepliesI would like to disable dragpanel functionality using javascript yet only IE seems to work. If anyone knows how to get this to work across multiple browsers.
This is the aspx:

Currently I have no way of accessing the DragPanelExtender directly using javascript as it keeps returning null. If I disable the extender in the code behind from a partial postback it works fine, but I want to remove this partial postback and do it all in javascript. This works in IE.

I have an existing web site and I would like to create a mobile version of it that is more suitable. For instance, the main site uses drop-down menus and we all know those are quite the fail on mobile devices.I would like to redirect to my mobile version (it will be a subdomain of the current site) if I detect a request from a mobile browser. So when they Google something and come to my site, they will automatically see the mobile version (just like Wikipedia).Does ASP.NET provide an easy way of doing this
View 6 Repliesdesigning 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.
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a web site (ASP.NET/C#) that is specifically targeted at mobile phones.On the master page I have put an ASP menu. This works fine in IE8 and Firefox, but when I try viewing it from my Nokia browser, while the menu is visible, its behavior is incorrect: I tap on the menu to open it, and instead of opening the next level of menus, the control disappears altogether!Interestingly, I got the same behavior using Chrome on my computer.I haven't yet tried on Safari, but the message is already pretty clear: the ASP.NET menu control doesn't work on the Nokia browser, and that is a showstopper. What alternatives do I have? It needs to work on Nokia, Safari and Opera, at least.I saw in a similar question that someone suggested writing a custom server control. Nice idea, I'm sure... but how do you explain that to this ASP.NET newbie?

View 3 RepliesI have just been dabbling in MVC over the last couple of weeks. Knew I wanted to go in this direction but have been putting it off due to comfort/familiarity with webforms. Also knew that with my first MVC site I wanted it to support mobile devices. One of the first tutorials I saw implemented an Area for mobile support. I started that way as well.
Since I want to get off on the proper footing here I guess I'd like to ask you guys. What would the best practice be? Is it just a matter of preference? Are there any specific pros or cons to using or not using Areas when it comes to support for mobile devices?
I need to make my site work well on a blackberry, i haven't put too much effort into getting this working yet, but i have a few questions which google is struggling with.I've read about detecting brower type and modifying the default behaviour of asp.net controls hereHow would I go about supplying a differant stylesheet to a specific browser, should i just do this?
if (Request.Browser.Browser.ToString() == "blackberry") //pseudocode
{
Response.Write("bb.css");
}
else
{
Response.Write("bb.css");
}
This will work fine, but i feel like there is a better method, i'm sure i've read about something in the past but i can't seem to recall.I'm also considering a response.redirect to a differant page for a blackberry, which at the moment i would implemenet in a similar way.
I am in the planning phases of building a new ASP.NET website. The website is really a transactional web application where the users will log in and perform basic CRUD data operations. For right now this website will be accessible through a traditional desktop browser and a mobile browser. For the mobile browser we will build a separate scaled down version of the site.In the future we may decide to create native mobile applications for Android or iOS devices also.
So the question I have is what is the best way to design the system to easily support that? Here is what I am thinking. I am thinking of building out 3 tiers to the site. The back end will be the database - SQL Server 2008. We will use stored procedures for all data access. The middle tier will be a web services tier. This tier will be built using RESTful web services and will contain all of the business logic. These web services will provide access to the database. The front end will be built using ASP.NET. The front end will only contain presentation logic. These tiers will actually be deployed on physically separate servers.
Then I am thinking that when we decide to build a native Android or iOS app that we could build those apps to simply call the same RESTful web services that the main site is calling.Does this seem like a reasonable approach? The only thing I can think of is that the way we are building it right now the web services would be behind the firewall and would not be accessible to the outside world. When we want to support a native mobile app then we would need to make the web services accessible to the outside world.Any thoughts? Does this seem like a good approach for building a high availability, high usage web app that needs to support native mobile apps in the future?

I saw few posts on this forum saying that IE mobile works just with jscript and doesn't work with javascript.

Is there newer versions of ie mobile that works with javascript ?
I want to check if a mobile browser has javascript enabled before displaying a page to the user. The code I've found from my research is:
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
Response.Write(browser.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString());
So to ensure that javascript is enabled on a browser, you need to check wheather the returned valued is either equal to or bigger than 1. This works on normal browsers, but when I test it on my phone the returned value is always 0.0, no matter if my javascript is enabled or disabled. Is there a way to check if javascript is enabled on a mobile browser or will the browser handle the incapability on it's own?
