For instance, JS works on the Treo 700p just fine - but when you get to making HTTP requests through JS (AJAX and related talk goes here) - they refuse to execute. (The 700p uses Blazer 4.5 web browser): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazer_(web_browser) If your page is being read mostly by the non-cell phone crowd, use some JavaScript making HTTP requests to say cars.php?make=x, where cars.php returns some xml on all possible models of cars from that particular make, where then your JS sets onreadystatechange and loops through all returned values and pushes them onto the select list. After you figure all of this out, write a "cell-phone crowd" version, that uses a few reloads of various portions of the page to get the desired affect. (I do believe that Blazer and the like support iframes - but I'm not 100% sure, so don't quote me on that!) Since you're in the market for the non-cell phone crowd, and the cell-phone crowd - now might be a good time to turn on Channel 4 and watch The IT Crowd... > Please advise. > > Thanks in advance > > Angelo > > Web: http://www.elemental.co.za > > > > Regards, Ryan Yagatich -- Pantek, Inc. - http://www.pantek.com/ - info@xxxxxxxxxx +1-877-LINUX-FIX - Expert Open Source Technical Support -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
