I’m designing an app and the users want to be able to access it over a web browser on the blackberry (well, I guess they’d prefer it as an app, but my skills don’t extend that far)
Problem is when using the Mobile hide-when options the blackberry browser doesn’t recognise them, it thinks it’s a proper web browser.
I guess this is because mobile browsers are now more like the ‘real’ thing, but this of course leads to a large problem. How do I display different links on a blackberry to a normal web browser?
Thanks

Subject: hide when formula, not checkmarks
Instead of using the hide-when selections (notes, browser, mobile), you might need to write a hide-when formula targetting this browser. Something like:
@If(@BrowserInfo(“BrowserType”)=“Netscape”;“NS”;“IE”)
Start by writing something that will print the @BrowserInfo(“BrowserType”) and @BrowserInfo(“Platform”)on the page, and check to see what browser type it is reporting to be. (see the help for more @BrowserInfo parameters/properties)
If it really is reporting itself as the same browser as it would when running on a PC, then the only other idea I would suggest is giving an option on the page to “display mobile version”. Be sure to also supply a “display normal”, in case someone tries this while on a PC.
Subject: Unknown
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense
Unfortunately it says unknown for browser type on my blackberry.
I could always check for this, but not all mobile browsers will be unknown I’m guessing
EDIT: sorry, just read the help properly and it looks like this is correct for mobile type browsers. Thanks Maria
