Hi! I try to get AJAX running on a mobile Windows Mobile 5.0 based device and failed. There should be a JavaScript support but nothing happens. Have any of you experience with the rails javascripts on a this platform or are there any hints, documentation on the net? tia, -- Daniel V?lkerts Protected by Anti Pesto.

Hmm, I think that''s a typo... the current version of javascript is 1.6... unless M$ has some whack-ass numbering scheme of their own. Anyway, I think your problem is something other than incompatible javascript versions. Try putting some simple javascript into a page and see if it works. b Daniel V?lkerts wrote:> Daniel V?lkerts schrieb: > [First post] > The docs on > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mobilesdk5/html/mob5conscriptingsupportinpocketinternetexplorer.asp > > said, that MIE supports JavaScript 5.6 (ECMA-Level 3) and a DOM based on > W3C''s Document Object Model Level 0. > > So, I''m not yet a JS guy, but I''ll have to accompish this.

I know this doesn''t fix your problem, but i''m doing some work with a Windows CE .NET 4.20 device and IE seems to work ok with the AJAX js I''ve used so far, although it is slow as mollasses as far as visual effects go (fade, dragdrop, etc). i probably wont use any effects for the pages accessed by this device.

well, i just did some tests... apparently only the effects appear to work (draggable, etc), but anything i that does remote submission (link_to_remote, remote_form_tag) doesn''t work. monitoring webrick shows no requests...but the page DOES work in IE and firefox. i''m not getting any javascript errors in CE however.

Sounds like XMLHttpRequest may not be available on the CE version of IE. If
you have any kind of support relationship with Microsoft you might want to
check on it. Also, if you give me the details (various software versions) I
will consult my sources.
The results of the following HTML may be instructive as well:
<html><head><title>AJAX test</title>
<script>
var xhr = false;
function ajaxCallback() {
alert("readyState = "+xhr.readyState);
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr.status != 200) {
alert("HTTP request failed: status "+this.xhr.status);
} else {
alert("Request succeeded!");
alert("Results:\n\n"+xhr.responseText);
}
}
}
function runTest() {
try {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
alert("Found a modern XMLHttpRequest object.");
} catch (trymicrosoft) {
alert("No modern XMLHttpRequest object. Trying new Microsoft.");
try {
xhr = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
alert("Found a new Microsoft XMLHttpRequest object.");
} catch (othermicrosoft) {
alert("No new Microsoft XMLHttpRequest object. Trying old
Microsoft.");
try {
xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
alert("Found an old Microsoft XMLHttpRequest object.");
} catch (failed) {
xhr = false;
alert("No XMLHttpRequest object is available.");
}
}
}
if (xhr != false) {
alert("Trying a request to myself.");
xhr.open("GET", ""+window.location, true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = ajaxCallback;
xhr.send(null);
}
}
</script>

Greg, Sure enough, IE on Windows CE does not apparently support any form of XMLHttpRequest. All tests failed.

honestly, i don''t know much about the device, other than it runs Windows CE .NET 4.20 and the HTTP User Agent is reported as Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE). other than that, I don''t know much else about it.
