Re: "hdml" - handheld device markup language Steve here's a link to the Wireless application protocol group www.wapforum.com Here's a link to their white paper wapforum.com In summary; WML's roots lie in efforts by Ericsson Inc. in Research Triangle Park, N.C.; Nokia Corp. in Irving, Texas; Motorola Inc. in Schaumburg, Ill.; and Phone.com to define a standard, widely accepted protocol for wireless communication with the Web. These companies were responsible for defining Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), a set of rules for developing wireless Web applications [Technology QuickStudy, Nov. 1]. The companies decided to base WAP on Phone.com's Handheld Devices Markup Language (HDML) communications protocol. WML has since evolved from HDML. BR, Mad2 Edit- Some question the need for this as AvantGo Inc. in San Mateo, Calif., and ProxiNet Inc. in Emeryville, Calif., offer ways to mold standard HTML pages into formats suitable for wireless devices without requiring the creation of separate pages.
