Hi guys. I'm having a heck of a time understanding why my .NET pages won't display on the Emulator when I switch the .NET version to 2.0 on the web server. When I run the site on .NET 1.1 (using the same code, just switch the ASP.NET version to 1.1) the site displays on the emulator.

I currently have the site set at ASP.NET 2.0.

Take a look at the site on the emulator:
http://emulator.mtld.mobi/emulator.php?webaddress=mobicity.mobi&emulator=sonyK750&Submit=Submit

I get the error: The requested item could not be loaded. (Status code 502)

Now check out the site in the browser (displays fine):
http://mobicity.mobi

I've checked the response headers using a plug-in to Firefox, and the headers are exactly the same whether I'm in 1.1 or 2.0 mode. Also, the resulting html appears to be exactly the same and appears to be xhtml compliant:

</body>
</html>

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be here?

Thanks...EZINAZ

I found the solution for this. Ready.mobi was reporting the following:



The MIME types sent by servers give very important information to browsers as to how to treat a document. If incorrect MIME types are sent with a document, it may prevent the browser from correctly interpreting the document and failing to render a document.
For XHTML-MP, the recommended MIME type is application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml or application/xhtml+xml. Unlike HTML, XHTML-MP should not be served as text/html.
Web servers are often set up correctly for common document types such as HTML and CSS, but often do not have the correct doc types for XHTML-MP. Please refer to dev.mobi (http://dev.mobi/) for instructions on how to set up your MIME types correctly.


FAIL
MIME type for main doc: text/vnd.wap.wml; charset=utf-8


I just changed the MIME type for the page to text/html (even though it says not to in the warning above, and the page now displays correctly in the emulator. I can experiment with other MIME types later.
This was performed by adding the ContentType attribute to the page directive, like so:


<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" %>

Hi Ezinaz...

Nice to see a fellow asp.net programmer in the .mobi world. I thought I was the only one *grin*

Keep up the good work...

I'm finding problems with the emulators as well.

I have a .NET page that I know for a fact has a div around the viewstate, but when the emulators process it, it says it's not there.

Well..my aspx pages work perfect in the emulators:
