I’m testing the “Hide design element” feature to have a stripped-down page display when I connect from my Palm Tungsten.
Thing is, it keeps pulling up the “standard” web version of the page.
I even added three paragraphs that say “Server is rendering for Notes/web/mobile” And then I set the paragraph hide-whens so that only the appropriate line is displayed.
When I load the page from Internet explorer I get the web version. When I load the page from my Palm Tungsten I get the web variant!
How the heck does the server decide? I can’t find anything on it in the Designer help file. Its like its supposed to be “Automagical”…
All comments appreciated and welcome!

Subject: How does Domino identify a “mobile” user?
I think the mobile value is only used if you are using DOmino Everplace Access. If you access the server directly via HTTP you will always use the web value - how could the server know that the HTTP is from a mobile device?

Thanks for your post.
I thought Domino might be querring the source for an Id of some type.
Or maybe the caller could set a parameter on the end of the url to identify it as a mobile device?
Is that possible?
I haven’t even found anything that explains where the info comes from, or what field is getting set.

DEA accesses Notes via a Java servlet so all its URLs start with /servlet/deas. Basically you must start of by logging in to DEA rather than Notes.
To make an application (forms, views…) available in DEA you must use the DEA Application Designer to generate the information needed by DEA.
