Hi all. I posted this in "Just Chatting" yesterday because I couldn't get into this topic (perhaps a firewall thing here at work), so I apologize for posting this twice. Menneisyys suggested I move it here, so I did.
I need help for an IPAQ 5550. This is our first shot at developing for PDAs. We are trying to put large training manuals (they were 1000 page PDFs) on handhelds using existing HTML/XML data being extracted from our document management system. We can't convert the PDFs straightout because the art shrinks and the diagrams are the most important part of the manuals.
These PDAs will not be linked to the web because they will be used by soldiers. We are having big problems since IE on handhelds won't open multiple windows and toggling text and large tables along with graphics are necessary. Unfortunately we can't use a tool like Southway Corporation's MultiIE 3.0, NetFront, or Replico because it would involve licensing issues and we are not allowed to put any new apps on the IPAQ. Its probably best if we use IE. We could buy a tool for the development if thats what it takes, but it should output something that pocket IE can interpret. We don't really have the resources for designing our own app.
Ideally, we are looking for a JavaScript that would allow us to open more than one window at once.
Is there any code out there to help?
Or perhaps someone has a solution for opening several pages at once?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any opinions and all suggestions will be considered and thoroughly researched. I got some great responses in my last post and I checked them out this morning. These were new products we had never heard of since we are newbies to this pocket PC thing.
Thank you in advance for any help.
