Hi,

How can I make a wap page with some data shown in a form. Form will have  
some links and the form has to be submitted to the server with some data  
picked up from the links. Now I can easily do this in rhtml using  
javascript and eruby. But how do I pick up data to be shown using RoR,  
and then do the equivalent of javascript in wap version?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

To detect WAP, I’m _guessing_ you could use respond\_to, like:

respond\_to do |format|  
format.html …  
format.wml …  
end

You may need WML to be registered first in your environment.rb:

Mime::Type.register “text/vnd.wap.wml”, :wml

As far as a “javascript equivalent” in WAP… no idea there, good  
luck 🙂
