Actually WAP supports WMLScript which is a special dialect of JavaScript.

For more information about WMLScript visit these pages or search the web:

Welcome to DS.

Yes you can, but again it really depends on the phone whether it supports JS or not.
Some Nokia phones at least support AJAX, take a look at this thread.

HTH.

With older phones, you won't be able to use XHTML MP at all -
WML only.... so WML script would be the way.

For not so old phones, you could almost certainly forget about JS support.
Your safest bet is always server-side.

Of course, you want to reduce the amount of user input on a mobile device,
but you should always use SS as a back-up anyway....

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

One thing I have realized is that the Nokia latest version of SDK is very flakey if you dont have the latest version of Java installed on your computer. Recently, I have been using OpenWave 6.0.

Is there a more popular choice?
