Will Atlas Work With Opera 8.60 for Pocket PC?

myAtlas Update Panels are working fine when i access the page from a standard desktop Opera browser. However the page is posting back when i do the same thing from within the PDA. the PDA is running the latest 'Opera 8.60 for Pocket PC' browser.

can i somehow configure the Atlas or the page so that it will work on the PDA browser? or am i on a hiding to nothing?

thanks

I don't speak for the ASP.Net team; however at this time there is no real 'support' for mobile devices (so yours being opera is not a slant). Currently there is some Opera desktop browser support and they are looking at expanding it. As with all new tools we get to play with - mileage will end up varying - however if you are familiar with Java Script... there may be a means for you to roll your own if its a mission critical scenario... However, personally - I don't think right now the focus is in provding mobilie support as it is more inline to polishing desktop browser experiences... NOt to sy it won't won't happen.. but usually mobile applications don't rely on the jazzability that memory / cpu intensive desktop browsers can utlize...

XHTML 1.1 Firefox and Opera problem

I installed AJAX Beta2 and used the CTP template to create a new web site. Which creates default.aspx page, with the doc type of:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
I have a table with images. I run the page in IE7 looks perfect. I ran in FF and Opera the cells height are 5 to 10 px to big. After pulling my hair for about 2 hours. I notice the doctype.
I set it to this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
And the table is correct (works in IE as well).
Should an AJAX site doctype be XHTML 1.1? Does it matter? Why did this break firefox on something so simple as a table?
Thanks

AJAX should support site doctype XHTML 1.1 in the release version. I aslo find the similar issue to yours.The Ajax control size?is?somewhat?different?

Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.
The Ajax technique uses a combination of:
XHTML (or HTML) and CSS, for marking up and styling information.
The DOM accessed with a client-side scripting language, especially ECMAScript implementations such as JavaScript and JScript, to dynamically display and interact with the information presented.
The XMLHttpRequest object is used to exchange data asynchronously with the web server. In some Ajax frameworks and in certain situations, an IFrame object is used instead of the XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data with the web server, and in other implementations, dynamically added <script> tags may be used.
XML is sometimes used as the format for transferring data between the server and client, although any format will work, including preformatted HTML, plain text, JSON and even EBML. These files may be created dynamically by some form of server-side scripting.
