I have a Windows Mobile 5 PPC (HP iPAQ) and am using the default Internet Explorer browser. It does not support iFrames. This means I can view my blog fine with my PPC but I cannot add/edit entries. I did install the POPFetcher plugin which is handy. However, it does not give you all the power of the full S9y administration suite.
I do not really want to disable iFrames for the entire site because most of the time I am using a browser on a desktop. However, when traveling, it would be nice to have the ability to use my PPC to get things done.
Is there a way for s9y to detect if the browser supports iFrames and then internally serve a version of the site which will work with non-iFrame browsers?

Re: iFrames and PPC Browsers
Hi!
Do you know what exactly the User Agent of the PPC IE submits? Then we could patch the s9y core to optionally disable iframes when this user-agent is used.
However, I think the PPC Opera supports iframeS?

I found this site handy: http://www.micro-sys.dk/services/http-user-agent/

Hi!
Uh, that'S bad because the User agent doesn'T differ from a usual Windows Desktop one, so we can't use it as a distinction. The only thing that looks different is "Google Wireless Transcoder", but I think this could come from other enhancements on your PPC?

Apparently, you are correct. Google Wireless Transcoder is a feature that must be built-in to the Windows Mobile IE browser, where it automatically modifies the HTML to be "mobile-friendly."

I just downloaded the Opera mobile browser and it does not use the Google Wireless Transcoder. It also posts fine to S9y.
FYI, Opera's user agent ID on Windows Mobile 5 is a lot more informative:
