Hi!

Is there any application which will let me run standard html files with some basic javascript code in them?
pocket explorer wont let me do this.

Netfront3 can handle some java, like popup windows and stuff like that. They also have jv-lite2 that can actually run some java games on webpages but I never spent the time to really try it out.

Actually Pocket IE does support JavaScript - refer to this msdn article. By default, scripting errors are turned off so you need to make a registry change to enable scripting. Microsoft states PIE supports JavaScript 1.5 but I've come across many 1.5 scripts that return errors. You're pretty safe using JavaScript 1.2 or 1.3 code though.

I believe he meant JavaScript, not Java. The unfortunate naming of Java and JavaScript causes a lot of confusion. There's actually a huge difference between the two. JavaScript is primarily a client-side interpreted scripting language. Java is a much more robust compiled programming language.
