Hi everybody, i have a problem. i have to show a sharepoint site in a windows mobile device with internet explorer browser or blackberry and in my masterpage i have a textbox and a link to do the search funtionality. the text in textbox is passed by querystring cliking in the link and redirect by javascript to results.aspx. when i browse in a PC everything is perfect but when i try it on a mobile device the textbox is not showed. i also tried with label, an html input...and the result is the same.

i have installed all compact frameworks in the server.

how can i get the rendered code in a mobile device???

what do u think about ???

cheersss

Hello,

great job to install the Compact Framework on the Server but perhaps your masterpage is not used if you browse your SharePoint site with a Windows Mobile device or a BlackBerry?

if there is one thing i am sure is my masterpage is being used because i also added a link to redirect to my searchResults.aspx page and it works fine. it has no sense.

cheers for your help

But where has your textbox gone?

Do you see the source code which is sent to the device? If you have the source code you can verify if the code for the textbox is there. If not the reason might be that the .NET Framework renders pages differently for desktop browsers and mobile devices. Perhaps the Windows Mobile device and the BlackBerry are not detected correctly? One additional reason may be that you have embedded your textbox in other controls. If they are not rendered your textbox also doesn't appear. Let me know if this helps and if you have further questions.

yeah...that´s the question...how can i get the source??? do i have to install any SW to see it? that´s what  i´ve been searching but nothing.....maybe an specific keypressed combination...

You cannot display the source code on Windows Mobile devices but on the BlackBerry.

BlackBerry key combination: Alt-RBVS

The best solution is to use Fiddler. You can send requests with the user agent of a Windows Mobile Device

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.12) O2 Xda Zinc

or a BlackBerry

BlackBerry8900/4.6.1.250 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100

to your application with the Request Builder of this debugging proxy.

thanks for the key combination....but now, i have problems with the site....at least is friday. if i solve this i´ll tell you.

Please do. My daughter has just bought a new LG phone and the first thing I did was visit my mobile login page with it. Low and behold - my ID and Password textboxes did not display in the browser. They display in the usual PC browsers and on every other mobile phone I have tested with to date.

It's was alarming to see them missing, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has any idea why.
