Hi, one month before I also did something with WAP.I would like to share my experience when doing it. My project is to create a template in HTML that will generate the WML file. It is used for the news publishing. For the first time when I want to create the WML file, I used the WAPDrive WAPTOR that is the free editor from www.wapdrive.com. To test it, whether it work or not, I used the emulator from the www.gelon.net. In gelon.net, you can find various WAPphone emulators such as Nokia, Motorola,Ericsson,Siemens etc. The problem is that, there might be higher tendency that the same WML file that worked on Nokia phone might not work on other WAPphone. For, browser, we can test it on only two browsers that are IE a& Netscape.But, for WAPphone, it is much harder since there are many brands of WAphone. Sometimes, when I run the script in the WAPDrive WAPTOR and the emulator of gelon.net, the script has nothing wrong and run well,but when it is tested on the real WApphone, it is not working. So, to get the high accuracy of the code, my contact told me to use the Nokia WAP Development Toolkits. I used it, and the toolkits is very useful.It is very very sensitive to XML or WML errors.Only one small mistake, the file cannot be compiled and shown on the Nokia Emulator that comes along with the Toolkits. Anyway, the requirements of using the Toolkits is very high.It needs at least 32MB it.So, it took most of my time to compiled the file.What I do is to write the script in WAPDrive WAPTOR and compile it on NOKIA Toolkits. You also have to register first before downloading the Toolkits.And it is free. For PerlMonks , if there is the WAPsite of Perlmonks,I would like to see something like who is in the chatterbox,the experience,the new nodes etc. I think that's all for now. bye VREMPIRE Lord Of the Darkness </body> </html>
