WML Input Mask to force numeric characters

frasmus

*Please excuse me for cross-posting. I really can't find a suitable
"wireless internet" group to ask this question, except forum.nokia,
where I didn't have any luck.

I have a web page for inputting personal expenses into a financial
database with a cell phone. To force numeric values on the keypad, I
used <input name="num" width="70" height="20" format="*NNNN/"
type="Currency" align="right">

The page works just great with the free Openwave V7 Simulator on my PC.
But when I try accessing the page with my Nokia 6061, the phone doesn't
switch to numeric-only. Having to enter abc1 for one dollar will not be
acceptable. I'm so stuck on this most basic of problems, I've even gone
as far as to consider writing a script to convert "a" or "b" or "c" to
a "1" at the server side.

Since my page is not a genuine xml compliant page, I wonder if anyone
could refer me to a page where I could confirm that the format="N"
parameter might actually work with a Nokia Series 40 phone?

In the meantime, I hope someone will take a moment and visit my page
and help me understand what the heck is going on...

I hate Nokia's browser, why couldn't they just have licensed Openwave's? Or
at least made theirs compatible, it breaks all kinds of WML stuff.

Anyways, best bet is Nokia's developer site, last I checked you can join for
free, giving you access to their docs and tools.

1st character of field Uppercased only with input mask?

by: AA Arens | last post by:

When I want the first character of a field to be Uppercased, I need to make an input mask, like >L< followed by ??????? for example. But this mask creates ____ in an unfilled field, which I don't like. How to get the fist character uppercased without an input mask or without ____ (underscores). When I click with the mouse on an empty field, it won't go to the far left side, cause of the input mask. How to avoid it? Bart

Input Mask - Annoying behavior.

by: ApexData | last post by:

I have an unbound textbox that I want to restrict to 10 characters. I defined the mask as follows CCCCCCCCCC;;" " The problem is that the behavior of the cursor changed beyond my request. Normally, you click on an empty txtbox without the mask and the cursor goes to the first position. With a mask this is not the case. Additionally, if you have a one character txtbox mask set to C;;" " , it becomes very easy to inadvertently click on...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
