Martin, Nokia has never been able to do JavaScript right. The other traditional phone manufacturers have not done any better. Same is true for most everything about their phone (e.g. their user-interfaces).
Most businesses I work with do not spend much time or money with this type of phone. For instance, if you point it to mobile.walmart.com, you get the most basic experience only. No JavaScript used in this one. Same is true for m.wellsfargo.com. If you use Android or an iPhone, there is plenty of Wicket JavaScript and the UI is significantly richer. One of the reasons for this is that while there are still many of these types of phones out there, their users do not use MWeb and have no ability to use apps. No sense spending money there when the majority of actual MWeb users have Web-Kit based browser that do Wicket Ajax perfectly. :) Best regards, Joachim On Thu, 2010-06-17 at 07:51 +1000, Chris Colman wrote: > Whoops!
