Thanks for advise. Actually I want to detect the mobile phone browser
whether the browser support color image display (then I will use xHTML) or
else I will need to use plain WML. I know there are solutions provided in
ASP, PHP or PERL scripts by using the HTTP ACCEPT header to return the
supported mime type. But for Witango, I don't see the <@CGIPARAM> support
that, it only have USER_AGENT parameter which is not enough information to
tell me. Is there a way to solve this by using Witango or I have to use
others?

Tan,


I don't have much experience in supporting mobile browsers, but I may be able to point you in the right direction. Perhaps someone else on the list can assist in more detail.

However, here's what has been successful in implementation on many of the projects I've worked on. Detect the the browser with USER_AGENT, and then go through multiple if...then scenarios for determining what each browser is, and tagging a parameter if that browser supports a particular technology (in your case XHTML vs WML). Once that is discovered push the client to the appropriate pages (XHTML or WML).

HTH,
Ford
