Hi, Does anyone have any information, white papers, or code on how to convert/modify a html web page designed for the desktop sized screen to fit on a small screen (PocketPC/WinCE size) Thanks :confused::confused::laugh: Peter Tewkesbury Lead Developer

There aren't any. Usually, you write a seperate web page made specifically for mobile devices. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

There are programs which shrink html to fit a small screen See http://www.greenlightwireless.net/skweezer/default.aspx[^] 'Why use Skweezer? Skweezer's built-in browser optimizes Web content for your wireless handset, reformatting Web pages so that they load faster and are easier to view. There's no software to download onto your device and it works on practically every PDA, smartphone, and XHTML-enabled cell phone on the market. And, since Skweezer is compressing the content before it's sent to your device, pages load faster and cost you less money to download.' It is possible. I would like to know how to do this in my own apps for the PocketPC. :-D Peter Tewkesbury Lead Developer

How does the application know what the important parts of your web page are and strip the rest? Peter Tewkesbury wrote: I would like to know how to do this in my own apps for the PocketPC. I have no idea how they do it. The only time I've done something like that, I just created a seperate set of pages for mobile devices.
