Re: JavaScript pie / ie

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you build in JavaScript in the OS, regardless of which browser you use, I
think that it should work. I don't use PIE because it's so useless for
anything but displaying help pages. Maybe when you changed from PIE to IE
you didn't do a clean sysgen? Or maybe you actually removed JScript when
you built for PIE? I don't know.

Thank you for the reply I will follow this up. The only other query was
why in JavaScript doesn't work in PIE but does in IE.

I think that what you probably want to do is build your own browser that
has the possibility to maximize. You can start with IESample or IESimple
and make suitable modifications to do that. At that point, yes, you can't
exit using any user-controlled operation, but JavaScript can close the
window causing exit (at which point you'd presumably reenable the task bar
and start menu). We do this for our customers, so that they can build
Web-based applications on locked devices but, if they want, they can
provide a page where the user can enter some administrator password and
trigger a script to exit. Trying to do this, which is clearly not an
intended scenario for the prebuild browsers, with the built-in stuff, if
pretty hopeless.

The following has been reported to me via a third party application
writer using our Windows CE 5.0 based hardware;

Our application uses JavaScript in three areas as follows;

The OnLoad event is use to place the cursor in the correct entry field
i.e. onload=document.dataform.thisitem.focus();

The OnClick event is used to navigate to the correct page i.e.
onclick=window.location.href='pagename'

The OnKeyDown event is used to detect the use of the Enter key (KCode
13) and check that required fields contain data before proceeding.



If the OS is built with Pocket IE it makes intelligent use of the screen
space but did not interpret any of the JavaScript.

If the OS is built with IE6, this did interpret JavaScript but makes
inefficient use of the screen space particularly the width as it allows
for a vertical scroll bar.

Unfortunately if you use the IE options to hide the toolbars, the screen
will maximize but there appears to be no way to then exit/close the
browser. The usual Ctrl_O and Ctrl_W do nothing.
