    Posted: 31 May 2012 at 11:25am

Good morning,

I am creating a site for my own use, hosted here and I have run into an odd problem, the site uses <asp:button> and its works fine on all the major browsers on the desktop, but on my Nokia E5 mobile it fails.

The <asp:button> don’t work, instead an error appears saying the Javascript function that normally implements the callback (_doPostBack) is not found.

Having played around a bit I put up a test page

           String strDetails="";

            HttpBrowserCapabilities bc = Request.Browser;

           strDetails += "Browser = " + bc.Browser.ToString() + "<BR />";

            strDetails += "Ecma Script Version = " + bc.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString() + "<BR />";

            strDetails += "IsMobileDevice = " + bc.IsMobileDevice.ToString() + "<BR />";

            strDetails += "JavaScript = " + bc.JavaScript.ToString() + "<BR />";

            strDetails += "JScriptVersion = " + bc.JScriptVersion.ToString() + "<BR />";

            this.labbrowsercaps.Text = strDetails;  

 

which tells me that the

Browser = Mozilla

ecma script verion = 0.0

javascript = false

jscriptversion = 0.0

platform=Unknown

This confirms a number remarks on the web that say the Symbian browser is not being recognised as one that supports javascript, there appears to be a lot of confusion but no actual solutions.

Is there a Nokia.Browser file that can be added/updated to the server hosting this site?

Bye

Ian

Good morning

Just to let you know that it is not stupidity on my part, these forums don't work either, they generates javascript errors as well.

Bye

To be honest considering Nokia dropped Symbian and are moving over to Windows Phone 7 I very much doubt developers would be supporting the Symbian Browser as very few people use it.

These forums do fully support more popular Mobile Browsers including Blackberry, Android, and IPhone browsers, including Safari Mobile, Google Mobile, Opera Min and Mobile, Firefox Mobile, Dolphin and a few others.

Good morning,

I can run the Opera browser on this phone and this is what I will do, I was just very surprised to find that a brand as well known as Nokia isn’t fully sorted with ASP.Net.  

After all its only a browser recognition issue, the browser does support Javascript and its not a complex function that it might be acceptable for there to be compatibility issues.

I only bought the phone about 6 months ago and whilst Nokia are moving to Windows Phone, this one is still Symbian.

 Bye

 Ian
