Hi everyone,

1.Is it possible to display the list of items where user can select multiple choices?I was trying to implement this but couldn't succeed(USING PHP).For example in a contact form I have to select multiple choice, fill them and submit it.

2. Is it possible to download file(PDF) in mobile site?

3. What is the procedure to provide external link from my site?

Any suggestion will be appreciated!

Thanks,
registry

Yes. Sounds like a job for checkboxes - they are pretty basic & easy to use:

<input type="checkbox" name="mychoices" value="choice1"  />
<input type="checkbox" name="mychoices" value="choice2"  />
<input type="checkbox" name="mychoices" value="choice3"  />

Yes. Just provide a link to the PDF file. However, you should indicate that the user will be linked to a PDF file, and also you should indicate the size of the file, so that the user can decide whether or not they want to click on the link (their phone might not be able to handle it, or they might not have a suitable data allowance)

Just provide a link as usual using <a href="...">link</a>. Again, as above it can be useful to provide information about the link e.g. if it's not mobile-friendly then you should make this obvious to your mobile users

Please can you provide more information about how it didn't work, error messages, your environment, and any code you have written.

Does it work on your desktop browser, and have you tested on a real phone?
