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?

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/


My Windows Mobile 5 Internet Explorer browser uses this user agent ID:

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:
