First off, I'm new to the board (if you didn't figure that one out). At any rate I recently upgraded my cell phone to include Wireless Web. I do web design mainly as a hobby, and am interested in persuing the ability to create wap enabled pages.

I have a few questions regarding WAP and things relating to it. First off I'm guessing the answer to this question will be no... I know html sites will load to a degree on my cell phone. What I'm wondering is if there is a method to allow me to put both WAP and standard HTML in the same page. In this manner I will be able to use the existing structure of my web site and allow integration of the two.

Also I'm wondering if there are any tools out there that will let me see what my site will look like though WAP without using my phone. In this manner I can prevent myself from using more bandwidth than I am alocated in testing it...

since WAP pages uses WML and ordinary webpages uses HTML you can'tix these two... unless you separate them with for example ASP or PHP code...

On http://www.gelon.net/ you can check WAP pages....

http://www.m3gate.com/ has a plugin so you can view WAP pages in your ordinary webbrowser..

Nokia has a built in viewer in their Nokia Mobile Internet Toolkit...

if you guys will use WAP 2.0 which is based on XHTML, then you can cater to both WAP browsers and normal www browsers. The only problem is when older (pre-2.0) WAP devices connect such as Nokia phones.

Another alternative is to use Microsoft ASP .NET with Mobile Internet Toolkit that allows development on single code base and will adapt depending on the client visiting the site.

To see both XTML and ASP .NET in action, see www10.brinkster.com/azcruz

I'm glad someone started this post as I was just about to - I need help aswell - Ive got a wap site - http://tagtag.com/wapchimp - this doesn't support colour images - Ive also get a web site http://www.wapchimp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk - which is written in xhtml - but I can't connect to it via wap - is this a server problem?? - via www is fine - maybe it's because it's free web space & doesn't support wml/wap connections???

I recently noticed something. PHP was mentioned. As it stands, I use Perl CGI fairly heavely in my web site. I'm now guessing this answer is yes. Can I determine that a wml broswer is being used & re-direct based on that? I may actually answer this question myself shortly, but I thought I'd post it just the same...

K, I found it. I was checking my agent log file for the browser type & got:

EricssonT68/R101 UP.Link/5.1.1.4

Unfortunatly this is phone specific, but it's a start...
