Please someone tell me that there's a browser out there that allows you to use the keypad buttons to page down or page up.  Scrolling just using the nipple joystick is a complete nightmare.  Running on SP5/WM5.



Or is there a way to get the browser to display in landscape format?   :??:

You can't and you can't i'm afraid

Interesting thing to try would be if it responds to page-down when you have a keyboard attached...

Opera for Smartphone browsing works allot better for scrolling.  You can scroll 5x times faster.

I kinda like Pocket IE....

I had a quick look at the Opera website earlier and couldn't see support for WM5 devices.

Paul, what is it about IE that you prefer over Opera?

Guys,

Opera 8 for Smartphone 2003 does work on WM5 - It's actually amazingly better than IE. You can browse sites with frames, pages load much faster, navigation is better...etc
It has a 14 day trial expiry date so it will give you time to decide whether you need it or not. Uninstall is quite simple providing you soft reset prior to unistalling to make sure none of the Opera stuff is loaded, also you will need to manually delete some Opera directories after uninstall.

Now I have set IE to load cache files onto my storage card (thanks Modaco community on how to) I will find it hard to justify any other browser if this can't be done to it too.

What would be really cool is to get MM Flash for WM5 Smartphone - I have emailed MM and I will update when I get an answer

Opera seems a lot better; faster scrolling, left/right for page up/down, multiple windows, frames, etc. I've had problems with it though, it seems to only work intermitently.

Opera's cache can be moved to the storage card too. It seems to try to create it in the storage card, but creates a \Storage directory instead. Just edit \Application Data\Opera\opera.ini and set the following:

   [User Prefs]
    Opera Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera

And now for my first bit of registry magic...  

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps]
"50"=dword:1
"56"=dword:2

The key name is the keycode you want. 50 = Key 2, and 56 = Key 8.

The values available are:

1 - Page Up
2 - Page Down
3 - Top
4 - Bottom

5 - Horizontal Page Up
6 - Horizontal Page Down
7 - Horizontal Top
8 - Horizontal Down

9 - Default Layout
10 - Desktop Layout
11 - One Column Layout

12 - Full Screen Toggle
13 - Show Pictures Toggle

On the MSFP (AKU 2.0) release, IE Mobile will have 2 set to Page Up and 8 Set to Page down by default.  Other cool IE features are supposedly in the works too, you won't be disappointed!

I looked in the registry in my SP5 and I did not find the "KeyMaps" under the Internet Explorer folder.  Is this a key that we need to create and then set the Dword values as you detailed?

Yep, just create the KeyMaps key and then add the above values that you want into it.

That's awesome, Pocket IE is a nightmare without this scrolling fix. I got keys 0-9 working (keycodes 48-57), but couldnt' work out the keycodes for the '*' and '#' keys (the ASCII equivalents of '*' and '#' didn't work, of course). Also, I couldn't get the Default/Desktop/OneColumn Layout functions to work. All the rest worked fine though.

Cheers, thanks for the info.

While I'm on the subject of Pocket IE- here's a tip for the SP5m/8300: Edit the file \Windows\Short_AP1.lnk and remove the "http://www.imate.com" or similar (leaving only the text "23#\Windows\iexplore.exe"). Now when you're in another application and you hit the IE button, you will switch straight to IE without changing the current page. If IE isn't running when you press the IE button, you'll get the 'favourites' page, which is great if you're on GPRS and don't want to waste bandwidth with a 'home' page.

Nice one, thanks very much.

[djbressler]

Fantastic bit of registry hacking. However, with Google, they've mapped the keys already - so the only key I found unused was 9 - which I set to page down, and that works perfectly for me!

thanks,
