Hi,
We're using our PDAs to view our email, we can't find the action bar at the top of the page. Is there a way of making this bar viewable or activating it in some way,
The pda is using pocket PC

Can anyone help,

Thanks in advance
 
Hi,

No experience with a PDA but I give you the reason why it does not show up on a normal machine:

The action bar will only show if your Internet Browser on your PDA supports JAVA.

Microsoft does not include the Java Virtual Machine anymore, and also does not provide it for download.

So you will have to do with the Java machine from Sun ( altough I do not know if this can be installed on a PDA...

After that make sure your security settings allow the applets to execute, and click "Yes" when you are prompted to install and run the applet. (If you accidently clicked "NO": delete all offline content and start again. You will be prompted again).

Have you tried the iNotes template also? It uses JavaScript for most things instead of Java and we have found that it works better on machines that have troubles running Java applets.



Kind regards,
