same problem as everyone else

i knwo this has been brought up before, but none of the other peoples' problems were solved. i have a simple wml file that i borrowed from URL and uploaded to my webspace, but for some reason although internet explorer parses it (badly) and a free wml java browser i tried parses it (perfectly), i can't seem to get an actual phone to read the page. the phone i'm testing is a nokia 6800 on o2 (UK) using gprs to access the internet. the error it gives is "file format unknown" and the page it's trying to access is:

URL

if you notice i chopped off the doctype and xml declaration at the top of the file as not even internet explorer would parse it properly with those lines in...

nothig else is changed and i don't know why it won't work.
my server is definitely set up for wml style access... here's my "technical" info from the faq:

"Q. Do you support WML (for WAP sites)?

A. Yes we do. Simply upload a WML compatible page to your space and access using your mobile phone."

any help would be highly appreciated...

I think there is something wrong, as Firefox opens the link in a normal window, not a wap browser window. Try putting this at the top of your pages:HTH

if i put that in, internet explorer (or my server) gives a parse error, my wap phone still won't load it, and my free wap browser doesn't like it...

maybe it's just that my server can't handle wml as good as it thought it can!

i'll now add the doctype and xml declarations, and can you tets it again?

URL

Still a parse error. can you post your code.

okay here's all of it:

URL
URL

URL
URL

the .html files are the source code

wap is the full code that was given on the web page i took it from, wapnodoctype is the same thgn but without the xml and doctype declarations (as it seems to parse in internet explorer that way (however i think that's because it assumes it's normal html)

thanks for all the help

OK, the only thing I can think of is putting the doctype all on one line:HTH

Well I hope this will help you.
I used wap editor for wml pages
http://www.wapdrive.com/DOCS/wap_software/waptor.html
also I used http://www.gelon.net for testing
here is one script that works.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- created by WAPtor (http://www.wapdrive.net/) -->
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

HomiLondon

still problems with the new doctype declaration AND the code that was supplied by homiLondon, i think it's probably just my server not being as up-to-date as it advertises in the wap section. i'll email my sysadmin guy.

thanks for all the help guys!
