Pocket Internet Explorer Start Page v3.0
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SITES & RESOURCES" @ 10:00 PM
Our very own Dave Beauvais, one of the few people I'm aware of that's more "Type A" than I am :lol:, has put together a cool little page about his Pocket PC Pocket Internet Explorer start page. Worth a look!
"Well, now that I've upgraded my iPAQ h5455 to Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC (a.k.a. Pocket PC 2003,) I modified my Start Page to use Cascading Style Sheets instead of directly formatting each page. Now if I want to make a change to something, I can just edit the style sheet and the change is reflected on all the pages automatically. CSS rocks and I'm happy that Pocket IE now supports it! I can finally turn off hyperlink underlines on the page, too!
The default "Start Page" page on all Pocket PCs is pretty lame. You can go to the built-in AvantGo client and to three or four other pre-defined locations, and that's about it. Having an assortment of locations quickly available without having to use the Favorites dialog is important to me, so I set out to create a new Start Page for my Pocket PC that was both attractive and functional. The screenshots below show the results of my work. A description of the page follows the four screenshots. (Yes, I am aware that the screenshot drop shadows are broken in every browser except IE. I'll fix that soon.)"
