How the heck do I get this to submit, so the post variable is passed to my target page? I figured that there would be some kind of a button or something that would be clickable on the phone(actually a phone/wap emulation). I can fill in the feild, but nothing happens, no matter what I click on or push.

here is the code:

code:
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>";
echo "<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC \"-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN\" \"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml\">";
?>
<wml>
<card id="start">
<p>

Enter Last Name:<br/>
<input title="Last Name" name="name" maxlength="40"/>
</p>

<do type="accept">
  <go href="wireDap.wml" method="post">
   <postfield name="name" value="$name"/>
  </go>
</do>


</card>
</wml>



any one got a clue what is wrong?

I thought the <do> action was triggered by one of the buttons on the phone. Is this not the case?

.....well it's kinda hard for me to say, because I'm just using the emulation program fro r phones on my computer. But pushing any/every button on various emulated models doesn't do a darn thing.

I'm in southeast Alaska and we won't have any WAP service until July, so I'm trying to stay ahead of the curve.

As a work around I passed my variables using an href, but I would really prefer to use Post instead of Get. But at least my application works! A user can search the directory of State employees (LDAP), choose who they want to contact and call them with the push of a button. Or at least they will be able to in July....

Cool app.

Do you have this page posted somewhere so I could try it out?

if you do a search for 'Knowles' and then choose James Knowles you should call my office number.

Right-On....!

Thanks David for checking this out, I'm so excited that this works in the 'real world'. Sorry about being a bit abrupt on the phone, I was in the middle of a meeting with two webmasters from another department who don't think one of the apps I've been asked to build should be built......Politics.

BTW- James is my first name, but only the IRS calls me that. I'd hate for you to keep that kind of company, so let's just stick with 'Norm'.

Cheers,
