This is the only way I can get his attention.
Headshox (or anyone who knows the solution)
Could you forward me the source code to your site so I can figure out the completion of mine?? I can't seem to display my images in colour nor can I get the ringtones to work.
Cheers in advance

Lol, sorry man.

Thank you for that. Did you create your site through a WYSIWYG Editor or just straight from notepad. If you did use an editor, what is it called? I've got Satana Builder and CoffeeCup Wireless Web Builder.
What about ringtones?? File links?
Who hosts your site? Is it or is there any FTP transferable hosts?
Sounds like an interrogation eh? 😉
I used the Nokia WAP Developer Toolkit, it's not WYSIWYG, you have to type the code yourself but it will validate your code and has a built in WAP emulator to test your code on. Plus it comes with useful WML and XHTML manuals. Look on Nokia's site for a download.
All links are very simple. just use <a href="whatever.ext">Whatever</a>
The only thing about WAP is that your code has to be perfect, whereas a modern HTTP browser can cope with just about any sloppy code and still make the page look right, a WAP browser will break even if just one close tag is missing.
As far as I know all hosts that do HTTP can support WAP, you just have to put
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
at the top of each WML file.
I pay for my hosting, but there are quite a few free FTP enanbled hosters around, try searching.
Headshox,
Do you know of any way to display JPEG images through WML?
If not, what are the limitations/specifications that you must use for your GIFs? (i.e. colour depth / file size etc).
I have tried XHTML which works fine through WAP emulators but not through the 7650s default browser.
Thanks, and sorry for butting in MR-6T9R :P

p.s. been trying to develop a 7650 resource site, where background images are displayed then downloaded OTA. no luck so far though.
What's wrong with your wapsite headshox???
The headers are there but no content eg. ringtones
TO tsunami:
The 7650 browser doesn't support XHTML, it only has a WAP 1.3 browser, 2.0 is needed for XHTML.
JPEGs, it would seem cannot be displayed as part of WAP pages, only on thier own, so a solution would be to do thumbnails as GIF files then link to the main JPEG image. GIF files as far as I know have no colour depth limitations, obviously you want to make them as small as possible (so as low colour depth as possible) without losing too much quality. have a play.
To 6t9r:
I can knock a WML site up in an half an hour, so I did, finding, verifying, formatting, sorting and uploading media content however takes too much of my valuable time and brain power, and I am working on something much bigger at the moment.
