I've been trying to figure out my own thoughts on this topic, as there doesn't seem to be a common standard yet that I can see. There were several questions in...
Thanks, I accepted the corrections. The second one has become: "Finally, HTML would make errors in mark-up go by undetected, yet those errors would negatively...
... This kind of thinking has been popular with a whole share of developers who would like to see standards prevail, in spite of the increased discipline...
This is cool. Thanks Jason. Ajax is yet another thing in my to-do list. It doesn't look too complicated (I have a Javascript/DHTML background from my previous...
Guys, for those who have not noticed, this guy is Russell Beattie. He had a very popular mobile- and internet-related blog which he inexplicably decided to...
This is a very interesting topic. I have had no time myself to experiment with it, so I am very interested in experiences from others. For me one question is...
Ajax would at least improve things on interactive sites (like 'chat sites', for one.), since then you don't have to reload the entire page every time you want...

Hi Luca, Generally I love the idea of AJAX. The ability to load data asynchronously is a massive boost for internet apps, and mobile in particular. (It is a...
Hello, On Wed, 01 Nov 2006 19:33:30 +0900, Jason Delport ... There is work being done for a mobile Javascript and it appears that each major microbrowser...

... Just for the record, the Openwave 7.2 browser supports Ajax. Also, Openwave is deeply involved in Ajax standardization activities (OpenAjax) ... Nice pix....
Hi, I think the real benefit of AJAX to mobile is that it will allow you to reload the data without reloading the page. This will dramatically improve user...
Great work Murray! Just a quick comment: Maybe you should avoid using org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils in the class WurflUtils? (I at least don't like the...
Marten, that is the point I am not sure about: does it really mean faster response in the mobile case? Yes, the data to be transferred will be less using AJAX...
Martin, ... I don't know where you get your stats from, my experience says my latency is about 100ms with gprs and a steady 40 with UMTS. (depending of course...

Hi, Thats great news about Openwave, I hope the other browser companies all follow suit. Open standards all the way! Thanks about the pix... all pictures taken...
Hi guys, Does anyone here have any experience in converting the information in the WURFL format [1] to the "browser definition schema" format [2] supported by...
... Check out the archives, there was a big discussion on WURFL for .NET a while back (about 3 months, maybe) -- perhaps this could be of use? Michael -- ...

Hi Ernst, To make the whole .Net development easier I developed a 'plug-in-play' API for ASP.NET 2.0. Once you drop the assembly on the bin directory and set a...
Thanks Murray. In addition to Anders comment, might be a good idea to stick to commons-logging as well, so that people can implement whatever logging solution...
Hi Jason, Unless the latency time changes you'd have to be mad to embrace Ajax for mobiles, reloading parts of the page a few seconds at a time would be a ...
Hi Noahd1, The DocumentTag creates a DocumentInfo instance that gets put in page scope. And in the DocumentTag, it always sets the default_markup as below. ...
Hi Anders, Thanks for the kind words. I agree - it's not meant to be the definitive complete version (just a step in the right direction) so feel free to...
Luca, I feel a bit misinterpreted. I found much of my feelings well formulated in the posting by Russ this morning. In my opinion GAP should advocate the...
I was messing around with something similar using Thickbox on my main site. I made a few attemps at a mobile version of the Thickbox but didn't persue it...
Murray, there is wisdom in your words, yet I think the overall message you are giving is too negative. If someone explains what XMLHTTPRequest, they have just...
Marten, ... This is the core of my argument. If latency is neglectable against the time to transfer data, AJAX might be wonderful. I do not have own...
Hi Murry, Thanks for the information, that's interesting to hear. I was wondering how debugging would work in mobile browsers. The error being thrown on the...
One simple question, are we speaking of the same type of latency here? The time between 'the browser is told to download a page' and 'the page being displayed'...

My current project is to evaluate Ajax. we also have a pretty good testlab (about 20 handsets right to my desk, and 80 in an testlab, choosen by popularity) as...
