Mobile Dropdown menus.

[Skyforum]

I recently created a copy of one of my datapages in the mobile format. I noticed 2 things

You cannot use cascading dropdownsRegular dropdown boxes appear as a list of radio buttons on a wml page

I already sa where cascading dropdowns weren't available yet in mobile but how do I solve the problem of the disappearing drop down box?

Are you going to create a DataPage for a mobile device? At present, most mobile device are smart phones which use ISO or Andriod system. Caspio apps are xHTML compliant which makes them a perfect match for mobile devices. On the iPhone they behave well in Safari. This includes all DataPages types.

However, Mobile DataPages are intended for WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) compatible devices. Most PC based browsers cannot render these forms. And also most smart phones also do not have WAP compatible browsers anymore as they use regular browsers such as Safari on iPhone. Mobile DataPage is only used to the old non-smart phones, which is really very rarely used.

Tried using it on my blackberry. displays page but does not create drop down menus. I know blackberry can view them as I have several other sites where the dropdown works fine.

Hi,

You can make your DataPages mobile-responsive. Responsive web design is an approach for creating web pages that through a fluid layout dynamically adapt to various devices and screen sizes for better user experience and to eliminate or reduce manual resizing or scrolling.
