Hi There,

Been working on this project with an imminent deadline. Was creating some
code for a webpage to run on Pocket IE.

Coded it fine on desktop IE and the JavaScript uses multidimensional arrays.
The code does not run when on pocket PC and before trying to look at all the
other possibilities for problems I though I would ask if anyone knows
whether JavaScript multidimensional arrays are supported on Pocket Internet
Explorer.

The other command that I do use that I had not used before is
..insertAdjacentHTML, but I am sure that this is OK.

Any help appreciated.

Kind regards

Dave.

Further to my last posting, some tedious experimentation has revealed that
the

object.insertAdjacentHTML("BeforeBegin",stringtoinsert);

is what is causing my the javascript on Pocket IE to stop executing.

In my case obect is the ID of a <p> element
e.g.
<p id="MARKER"> </p>

And then I have

MARKER.insertAdjacentHTML("BeforeBegin",stringtoinsert);

So is this command not supported or am I doing something wrong. If it is not
supported how can I insert HTML into my webpage on Pocket IE.

Regards

Dave

They always are. Beat some sense into your marketing department ;-)

Yes, they are. IE on PPC (at least, most recent versions) uses
Javascript1.5 which is broadly what is in use by IE5 on desktops.

And that's where you're going wrong. PocketIE doesn't support dynamic
content creation. That is, you can't use innerHTML and so on once the
document has loaded.

There are ways round this using XML/XSL for the content, or using a
frameset which 'document.write's the content you want to add. Neither
is especially trouble-free but it can be made to work.

HTH

Are you trying to insert the content at runtime or afterwards ?

If it's when you're creating the page, save the content to a variable
and document.write it into the page. Otherwise (after the page has
loaded) you'll need to create a page-reload strategy which collates
parameters (eg from a query string) and creates the content from that
at runtime.
