Creating web pages with AXIM

Anyone ever use the AXIM to create web pages and what programs can you run with it...NVU or Front Page or Dreamweaver or simple HTML?

Probably a bad idea in general unless your target market is Mobile IE; you won't be able to preview and you pretty much have to use HTML anyway.

...Everyone should use HTML anyway.

You'd have to use a notepad program and type the HTML in manually - you can't run Nvu or Frontpage or Dreamweaver because they are built for PC x86 architecture only.

Although in theory I suppose it would be possible for someone to port Nvu to the PPC seeing as it's open source and works on Win/Mac/Linux already. I don't think there's the demand though.

PocketHTML.net might speed up the html scripting.

HTML editor and FTP program. It is a breeze to edit something that has already been made, than to create something from scratch.

I have dont a *tiny* bit of coding on my Axim - PHP/MySQL and HTML, and it's not a fun task. and with PHP, it's not previewable BC it requires a server to run, so all I could do was typ eup my code and wait till I got home to test it (alright, granted I could have FTP'd it up to a PHP-enabled server and tested it, but that would eat a lot of Axim RAM...)

Did you see this? It's not full PHP and has no MySQL support but it looks interesting anyway.

Or you could find someone willing to port the full php-cgi and then use that with another Pocket PC web server.

Why would you want to torture yourself trying to develop web-pages on a 4" screen? Ewww...

Gimme FrontPage 2003 - I'll lay it out and if anything needs tweaking you can dive under the covers and edit the HTML and/or ASP directly. Powerful, non-massochistic way of getting web pages online.

If you don't mind writing the HTML manually it isn't a problem. Well, maybe you need an external keyboard if you're writing a lot :)

I make all my sites with Notepad++ (basically notepad with colours and tabs) anyway. It takes longer than an editor, but you get the pages the way you want first time and, seeing as you wrote the code first, it's very easy to make changes later on.

I will take a closer look at those programs, they look like they could be just waht I need for my script debugging on-the-go

And, yes, you can use a nice prety GUI to make your pages, may I reccomend Macromedia (well now Adobe) DreamWeaver MX? But, you have very little control over the code and when you swap OS and screen size you can get some nasty effects, not only that, but try increaseing/decreasing the font size! Also, AFAIK there is no GUI that can handle PHP/MySQL.

I personally write everything in ol' reliable MS Notepad, or, if I'm on my Linux Box, Advanced Editor.
