The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

WAP content not showing in browsers

Asked by alexmauer in Web Browsers, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), Moble / Handheld

Tags: , ,

Hello,

I am testing out a wireless app desined to work in the openwave environment. While it works fine, the screen on the phone to be used are too small and cumbersom to read. The wireless app is designed as an input app to enter specific information to a database (oracle) from employees wrking in the field (employee puts themslves on a service call, record information about the work being done and enter their labor for the call) The data then updates a larger enterprise level record keeping system)

The code to the logon of the app is:

<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN""http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

If I try and look at this page in every browser EXCEPT Opera, I get a request to download the above file. Opera actually opens the file and you can execute it on the screen as if you where using the phone. I want to try and get this to work in other browsers as it will allow us to save a lot of money. The phones are too small and most of our users are not computer savey and will have an even harder time working the phones.

I want to try and get this on to something with a bigger screen and run it in a browser instead of using an oopen wave enabled cell phone. It was designed for open wave.

What is different between Opera and everything else? I guess opera allows wap / wml content to be displayed. Is there a way to add functionality to safari or firefox to allow this. I don't really know what I am talking about here, so I am having difficulty searching for answers.

Any help would be great. I want to try and get this working in safari specifically as we want to use Iphones. Our Org is mostly Macs and thus synking data would be a snap!
