Rabi, This could well be a problem with the version of IE used in your smart phone.. try backdating (if a lower version is available) or updating the HTC phones firmware if an update is available, so you can check if a previous version or a later released version works better?
Also it looks like a bug with the browser on the smart phone since all these things work on browsers on a PC including non IE browsers such as safari and FireFox with a few limitations that are not really that significant.. So I may raise a ticket with the vendors of your phone too and have them try out what you are experiencing and compare the difference from a PC and a smart phone in case you have your applications deployed on the web so they could access your pages and experience your problems first hand..

One more thing with Eris Droid: double clicking on a table row is not registered, because that is intercepted by Droid to do a zoom out. This can perhaps be changed in Droid configuration. --- On Sun, 12/13/09, Rabi Tripathi <ars_l...@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Rabi Tripathi <ars_l...@yahoo.com> > Subject: Getting Midtier to work on mobile devices: how far can it go? > To: arslist@arslist.org > Date: Sunday, December 13, 2009, 5:08 PM > Hi all, I just started testing > Midtier performance on Smart Phone browsers.
