I've just set up my wap site at freethemes.atomic-concept.com/wap.htm. Most of the pages seem to be working fine except a few where I get the error message "Something is wrong with the page you tried to access..."

I have validated the page at www.w3schools.com and everything seems to be in order. For the death of me, I really can't seem to figure out what's wrong.

A few examples of this error is on "J-L" page 5 freethemes.atomic-concept.com/wap/jl5.htm and "M-O" page 4 freethemes.atomic-concept.com/wap/mo4.htm.

Extremely grateful for any help, thanks!

BTW, the links work fine when viewed on a web browser but not on the t68.

Sorry Arnold, just typo on the link for page 4!

hey mark, page 4 is really screwed even on the browser (error 404)

page 5 is interesting as it does not exceed the allowed bytes in a page.

will investigate further.

Alrighty, thanks Arnold, I'll try it and see. Real troublesome as I've no knowledge whatsoever of databases so I've got to code it all manually in simple language.

No luck there Arnold. Even removed the hyphen just in case but still the same error.

cant see the problem with it myself, have u tried changing the doctype from transitional to strict and re-validating it?
if i remeber correctly there is a separate doctype for WAP devices anyway which is stricter still, transitional is really only for browsers

Thanks for the tips guys but I may have found the problem. It seems the t68 browser doesn't recognize "&" and "_" and gives a page error. Even if the link is to a file with those symbols, it will not work. Strange... Anyway, I've changed them and removed the foreign characters and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks!
