Hello,

I tried the ajax samples on the pages of Sander Elias and Phil Ide with
internet explorer on a Pocket PC.  It seems that it isn't working.
I suppose it has something to do with the lack of Javascript support.
Anyone who has some experience with it?

A solution with a GPRS or Wifi Pocket PC browsing on a XB2Net or WAA
application in combination with ajax would be great.

I use it now without ajax, but i suppose it would be much faster.

Bye,

Chris Andries.

No experience, but if you don't have JScript/JavaScript support, you are
sunk.  Additionally, if the browser is IE, then you also need to have the
XMLHttpRequest ActiveX object installed (Firefox/Netscape/Mozilla etc. have
a JavaScript object XMLHttpRequest).

Would George be president if his name was Harry?

Hello,

I searched the internet and there is some power tool to add javascript
support to the internet explorer on the Pocket PC.  I haven't found more
info about the XMLHttpRequest up to now.

Bye,

Chris Andries.

Microsoft JScript does not contain an XMLHttpRequest object, but it is
available as an ActiveX object (which is good because other applications
can access it without launching a script).  However, M$ were too lazy to
supply the object in JScript and tie that to the ActiveX object, which
would have meant 100% compatible code with everyone else.

How you would install the ActiveX control (or even find out if it is
necessary or whether it can be installed) I don't know.
