From what I've read, the JavaScript/DOM support is pretty good for
handhelds, but trying a simple page which works on the desktop doesn't
work on pocket IE on the device. I know scripting isn't completely
disabled, because I can use a script block to write a string, but I
haven't been able to call a function to change the string either from a
form button click or by adding another script block that calls the
function. Both of those work on the desktop. In fact, using a script
block to call the function doesn't even work on my device when the
string value is written statically in the HTML (so it doesn't have
anything to do with using the document.write).
Can somebody sort me out? I'm running WM5 ver 5.1.70 on this device
so I assume my Pocket IE must be fairly recent.
thanks
