MSIE 6.0 browser doesn't read html links on Windows Mobile 6.5

2 New Member
Hi guys,
I have a windows mobile application that has html pages generated on the fly (some pages have links in them). With the new browser MSIE 6.0 the links on the pages are not read as links. Basically nothing happens when you click on them...it just creates a dotted border around the links. Has anybody experienced the same issue? My target platform is Windows Mobile 6.5, my target browser is MSIE 6.0. The links work in previous platforms (Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0).

This is my code for displaying data in a web browser:
*************** *************** *************** *****
String sData = "<HTML><HEAD><T ITLE>My Test Page</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>My Test Page<br/><br/>My test link: <a href=\"http://www.google.com\ ">www.google.co m</a></BODY></HTML>";

webBrowser.Docu mentText = sData;
*************** *************** *************** *****

Thank you.

I guess it is the same time that happens on old browsers on desktop computers as well, you have a local webpage, and it won't link to external webpages.

What you would need to do is the following:
1. ftp the webpage from your phone to a webserver (I don't think these things are supported in the ordinary cf classes) so you can either write it yourself or use something called OpenNETCF or you can write some sort of a bit more advanced webservice that creates a webpage on fly.

Thanks for your suggestion, Kudos. I'll try it and see if it works this way.
In the meantime I found a work-around - I saved the html data to a temporary file and then used Navigate() method to point to the file. This way the links work when I click on them.

I have redesigned a page at http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~abell1/test/TestMain.html so that it works with MSIE 5.5 and 6, Mozilla, Netscape, and Opera for Windows, and Safari for Mac OSX. It almost works for Mac MSIE 5.2 for OSX, but only in this browser the links don't change colour or indent when one hovers over them. What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix? Is it because I have the left navigation div both floated and fixed? ...

I'm trying to use the hover pseudo-attribute to display footnotes in documentation. The footnotetext is hidden until you hover over the footnotemark. This work well in Safari and Firefox, but I can't seem to get it to work in MSIE. Is this even possible in MSIE? If so, can you explain why this CSS doesn't work? <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html>

Hello, I'm having trouble getting MSIE 6.0 (running on XP SP2) to accept a cookie which works fine in both Firefox and wget. The web server is Boa 0.94.13 (a small embedded server) using PHP 4.3.10 for CGI. Even with the lowest security settings in MSIE there is no cookie acceptance, and no "Cookie:" HTTP header is being sent back by MSIE. This is the php code for a fairly minimal testcase:

I am in the final moments of designing a new website. One of the pages (http://www.auditionfactory.com/samples.php) has four links to show sample work.

I have a user of a web application written in Java/JSP that is unable to login to the site simply because certain links on the page do not run when they are clicked. Other popups using Javascript on the same page work correctly. It appears to be isolated to 1-2 machines in a particular network. I cannot verify whether these machines have had virus/spyware scans, but I do know the user is running Firefox 2.1 and IE 7 with the same...
