problems with the layout

PeterL · 06-01-2004, 10:16 AM

Hi,
I´ve POSE for palmOs 4.1 and Tungsten E.
My problems now are with on screen layouT:
Is there any way to adjust my layout to the screen of the handheld while coding HTML? It´s a teadeous work to

HTML code
convert to iSilox
load in to POSE/Tungsten E
adjust the layout outside of the handheld
Repeat 2 and 3

I´ve tried with a table size 160 x 160, but had no luck...
Any other suggestions?
How large (in pixels) shoul I set the size?

Any help we´ll be appreciated
/Peter

Peter,

I know the trouble you are going through trying to code html which looks nice afterwards on a PDA. Honestly, I don't know of any better way than what you described. I wouldn't assume a 160x160 or any other fixed size, since PDA screens differ in size.

What I can offer you is a list of good resources for coding web pages for handheld devices:

I hope this can be some help for you.

thx Alex, but I can´t say that I´m getting any smarter...
But I have some questions about Images:

Do you recomend unchecking the " the Resize large images" ? Or should I trust isiloX doing the resizing?
what do you recommend about "Lossy compression"?
