Francois,

Can you post a link for the WML page that you created?

That will make it easier to determine what could be wrong.

The most common problem that people encounter is when they are serving a WML 1.x page and their web server is not configured to return "text/vnd.wap.wml" as the MIME type for the page.

Beyond that, you can run into problems if the standard WML XML headers are incorrect.

Assuming a simple WML 1.1 "Hello World", you would have an XML header for the document that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

Hi
Thank you for your post
The server administrator gave me the following code to put in a ".htaccess" file in the sub dir
addtype text/vnd.wap.wml wml
addtype image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
He said that should allow wap access to the file
The link is
http:\\wap.criticalfever.com/temp/index.wml
I'm not sure if index is the right name for the file?
I check the header but I think it does look something like that

Thanks Again

Francois,

Yes, that should be sufficient. Unfortunately, "wap.criticalfever.com" does not resolve in DNS for me, so I'm not sure if that is an internal only address for you?

Ok
Hit me with the dumb stick after your post I tried www.criticalfever.com dada and what do you it works.
I thought all wap pages had to have wap infront instead www so as to identify it as a wap page to mobile phones.

Thanks for that
So know that this is sorted I can start building the the wap pages "boy I see a lot of post from me"
Thanks again
