I didn't find any traces of discussions about this message, that appears in WAP whenever I leave just one field unfilled on a WAP form. This message doesn't appear on other wap-enabled phones,,, Even if this is a feature I don't like it!!!!! But I think it's more like another BUG...

Do you experience this too? Is there some workaround?

It is not a bug... It has been there since the first release of t68m, before any MMS software. And, although people have complaint, it still is there. So the only solution is that they did it on purpose. Why you cannot get rid of it still is a mistery to me...

I guess it was supposed to be a feature also, because I know one wap site where not all the fields need to be filled before continnuing - it wasn't so at first, but since I visit that site often, I finally contacted the site creator and asked if he could do something about it. He said it's only a problem on Ericsson phones, but finally inserted some extra tags or codes to fix this. But that is the only form I know that works normally. It seems site creators don't know about these codes.

I would think there might be some definition in the WML documentation that Ericsson followed carefully and it's the other phone manufacturers that didn't care to implement.

Shouldn't we add this request to the message allert petition?

This annoys like hell
I know quite some sites where this problem occurs too.
So there is really a workaround for the site owner to implement. Can you post how to do it or a link to some more information about this?

I've contacted the guy for the workaround information; will post his answer when I receive it. Might take a few days...

I found this in the WAP 2.0 specification, I'm not sure how to do it in WAP 1.0 pages, though...:

this would accept the fields to be left empty:
<input name="x" wml:emptyok="true"/>

this on the other hand would not.
<input name="x" wml:emptyok="false"/>

I guess Ericsson default is the second, other phones have the first behaviour as the default, so pages normally work on other phones, and have problems on Ericsson WAP browsers.

I'd guess
<input name="x" emptyok="true"/>
would be the WAP1.0 version, but I'm not sure. Opinions?

PS: this is not yet the answer, for I haven't received any answer yet from the site builder guy (ref. to my prev post)
