WM2003SE PIE: "Press OK to continue loading the content of this page"

http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38938

Q: I'm using Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) under WM2003SE. With a lot of pages, I keep getting the "Press OK to continue loading the content of this page" message like on the following screenshot: Click for screenshot You can also see this in effect if you click this link from your PIE (SWF file linked from PPCT). A: Unfortunately, this is an inherent problem, which isn't a bug but a "feature" explained here, which means it won't be "fixed" in the next versions of PIE either. What can you do to combat this problem? First, PIE plug-ins (PIEPlus, MultiIE, Spb Pocket Plus) won't work, not even ftxPBrowser, because they all use the PIE engine. There're, however, third-party tools to combat the problem; for example, PressOK. Fortunately, it already has a trial version (it didn't used to have) so you can try before buying. Alternatively, you may want to give a try to the alternative browsers which are totally independent of PIE: NetFront, Minimo, Thunderhawk or Opera (Mini). You may want to read my article (which even made to the PPCT frontpage as news and to a sticky thread in some other Pocket PC boards), Pocket PC Web browsers - the complete roundup (alternatives: FL , iPAQ HQ, AximSite, PPC Magazine, BrightHand) on them. Finally, a HTTP expert's overview on whether you can use generic filter/bandwidth saver proxies (please see Reducing Internet bandwidth usage on the Pocket PC - A complete roundup & comparison of Toonel, OnSpeed, Skweezer, WebWarper and the like; alternatives: iPAQ HQ, AximSite, PPC Magazine, FirstLoox, BrightHand) to do the static tag-to-JavaScript transformation (or, just get rid of these tags): yes, you can. - With a proxy that supports full elimination of tags (for example, see the free RabbIT discussed in the article above), just configure it to completely get rid of <object>, <embed> and <applet> contents. This is the easier way to go. Then, however, you'll lose all the flash/ Java applet/other plug-in contents of Web pages. - With a proxy that supports dynamic content transformation, you can convert these tags to their JavaScript equivalents so that the flash/Java applet/etc contents are not lost. I may elaborate on this sometime in the future when I have some more time to come up with a decent tutorial on this question. This way, you both save having to paying for PressOK and having to run it on your local PDA. (The latter doesn't cause measurable CPU load, though.)
