Hi
The tutorial is really helpful, but I have a problem near the start...
The tutorial says that we 'could' use the HTML Validator extension to check if our pages are valid.
My first 2 lines in my code are:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"> (had to add a space or the site didn't want to show this line)
Now, the validator already goes 'berserk' that it doesn't recognize the DTD, since it's not an official W3C DTD.
I'm fairly sure the both lines are correct, so I don't really understand why the tutorial says that we could use that seeing it clearly doesn't work...
Any advice?
Kinds regards,
Denk

Same with me
and the validator goes nuts.
But my page gets a green go from:
http://validator.w3.org/mobile/ and http://ready.mobi/launch.jsp?locale=en_EN
and I did choose the SGML version.
But good video anyways.

I’ve only started messing with the mobile web stuff now: http://www.tubesfan.com/watch/mobile-website-development-basics-part-01 I really don’t see why everyone would need to have a mobile website. I do see the benefit for some i.e. real estate agents who have the MLS system tied into their website.

Yeah, these are good starts. In the near future, mobile web sites could be a ranking factor in Google. You never know...

I mean, I assume I get what youre saying. I understand what you’re saying, but you just seem to have overlooked that you can find some other individuals in the world who look at this matter for what it truly is and may well not agree with you.

While accessing the web on a mobile device is nothing new, a renewed interest in developing mobile web content has been ignited by the increased availability of WAP 2.0 devices, an abundance of skilled XHTML developers, and notable efforts by groups such as dotmobi and the W3C’s Mobile Web Initiative.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books were not as good as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.

Awesome post! I've been trying to come up with a good internet business idea for a while. Instead, I have come up with a great non-internet business idea, which kind of sucks in a way because this idea requires a lot of money, as opposed to a full internet-based business that might not require that much to get it started. I'm not giving up though. Kingston SSDnow
