Hey folks, have i missed the obvious here...
I am building a wireless site using php to generate wml pages. This in itself rules javascript out of the picture.
When a user loads my page, i have the php script go and load a file (from remote server) and then modify it and display it in a way suitable for the small screens on a bobile device. Loading this file can at most take up to 12 seconds and by this time the mobile device has timed out. Because cutting down the load time is not an option, my solution was to have the user request the file and then be sent a page indicating that the file was being loaded. after a preset time the phone could then reload the page and display the contents of the file.
Is it possible to output a simple wml page and then after the page has been sent to the browser, load the file and store it localy so that when the phone next requests the page the file only takes a short time to load.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Can anyone help?
Thanx in advance
Bill
