Pocket Internet Explorer - support

[Former Member]

hi all,

I believe PIE doesn't support Java Scripts and Scriptlets. Is that so? Is there any new version of PIE which would support this? i want to do some client side validation.

i'm currently using the PIE in the PDA Dell AXIM X50 with Win Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.70.

Thanks in advance,

Ak

hello arun,

PIE does support Javascript (JScript). PIE v3.0 supports

Javascript v1.1 (see <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/developer/technicalarticles/PocketIE.ppt">Pocket IE features</a>. it it's disabled

you have to enable it first. you may use RegKing or other

tools to tweak up PIE as well.

for Mobile 5.0, i guess you will have more scripting support

than the older versions. take a look at this tech article

as well on <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/developer/technicalarticles/html.doc">HTML for PIE</a>.

Jo,

Another issue. I found a tool called Internet Explorer Tool with which i can enable Java Scripts on PIE. it happened to be an exe file. How do i install the same on PPC? Any idea on this?

hello arun,

you can get the PPC IETools from MS.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/b/3/6b345a7e-1122-49d6-ba47-e97ce499d321/ietools.exe

(note that this is for English PPC.)

to install, connect your PPC to your PC via ActiveSync

then execute the ietools.exe for remote install to your

device.

The RegKing lets you tweak your PIE like making your PIE

to pretend as IE5.5 version and so on.

For details and download, see this site

1. how do i do a remote installation of ietools.exe into my PDA?

2. Which version of RegKing should i download if i'm using Dell AXIM X50 pda running on Windows Mobile 5.0 OS: 5.1.70?

Kindly reply.

Thanks

hello arun,

connect your device to your PC thru ActiveSync. then execute

the ietools from your PC. ActiveSync will take care of

copying and installation into your device. there might be

a window which will appear during the installation on your

device.

<a href="http://www.arm.com/markets/mobile_solutions/armpp/7582.html">Dell AXIM X50</a> uses XScale processor. Im not

sure if this will work with Mobile 5.0 but might worth

trying. try this version:

http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/regking/RegKing2003ARM.CAB

copy it into your ppc and execute it from there.

hi Jo,

I did as u said.

Connected my PDA and and executed the ietools.exe. the mouse pointer turned busy for sometime and then NO Reaction at all...absolutely...

but in my task manager IETOOLS.EXE and SETUP.EXE were running occupying some memory... it sounds wierd...

And another thing! i downloaded a software called NetFront(TM) v3.3 for Pocket PC. Will it support MI JSP runtime? when i tried to access http://localhost:4444/me, it said connection refused. Your remote host or network may be down. Please try the request later! do i have to do do something else to open that port to browser? btw, i can access the ME Home page simultaneously from PIE.

Awaiting your reply,

Arun

hi Jo,

An update. I installed IETools. but it has the property to enable only JScirpts. its different from Java Scripts right?

Also i'm using a scriptlet on my JSP Code. Can this be supported on PIE?

And as you said, RegKing Didn't work for Win MObile 5.0. It was for not for this version.

hello arun,

yeah that's the same engine. when you use IE, javascripting

actually uses jscript.

what kind of scriptlets are you referring to?

is those java codes inside <% %> delimiters?

it is MI, specifically Tomcat engine that takes care of

translating your scriplets. what is returned to the browser

are the HTML strings (well, you might have javascripts on

it as well). it should work with PIE, as long as you don't

use unsupported HTML tags in it.
