Two Things...Both longshots

1) Can someone produce some Javascript which adds xda-developer's search engine to Firefox's pull down list of search engines.
Javascript gurus, go here for help

2) Is there any proxy server software for PocketPC...It'd be great to be able to view barred websites on my work PC and impress my work mates...NO! I don't mean Porno :lol: and no I cannot use my phone as a GPRS modem because of the severe user profile restrictions my work are running in Windows XP.
Thanks...By the way, the phone is a Universal.

Search plugin
Here's a firefox search plugin I knocked up. I don't really use firefox so no use to me!
Note: due to the fact that xda forums uses "post" instead of "get" form submission, and firefox search plugins don't currently support "post" it defaults to only returning results in "post" form, not "topic", PITA and not my limitation, but the browser's. There may be a way around it, but it's also a PITA
Unzip the attached files and drop into your firefox \searchplugins\ subfolder.

You're a legend vijay...Nice one :mrgreen:
Now can anyone help with the proxy server software.....I would like to get a proxy server running off my Universal.

netfront tweaking

how can you prevent netfront from going to mobile versions of certain sites like myspace,yahoo,google, etc? I can't find any settings for changing the string of redirection.kaisertweak doesnt seem to be the answer either.

Try entering another User-Agent string in the Browser Settings.
Good luck!
Mr B

There is a setting under BROWSER or VIEW for NORMAL. I also use Netfront and I get normal viewing.

i fixed that but what really annoys me is that if i try opening a link to someone's email outlook fails to pop up which opera(not mini) and pie does just fine

Script for logging into websites?

Hi,
The wireless network we have at work requires us to first connect to the network (the easy part), then open a web browser (Opera) to login. In my Opera under Settings->Privacy->Password management, I've saved my username and password, however it doesn't auto-fill the form like it should on other websites. I've also had this problem on my laptop (auto-fill doesn't work), so was wondering if there's a script or software or something for me to automatically login instead of having to type in my username and password every time?
Looking at the login website, it says it's a Cisco Wireless Network (presumably that's the router used).
Thanks

Did you try for example a MortScript-based solution? (I don't think a GET-based solution would work, instead of the default POST-based one. You can, however, give it a try too, if adding the full URL, along with your l/p, as a bookmark, isn't a problem.)

The POST-based is probably the most simple solution actually - going to give that a try now on my laptop. As far as MortScript goes, I think it'll probably work, but I do need to get around to learning it first.
Quick question without going into the MortScript documentation - how would I go about either calling Opera, or ideally, send a http command through a script? I'm an engineer and part of my job IS programming, but don't program for any web-based stuff so a bit lost there...
Edit: nevermind, reading the MortScript manual now, seems fairly easy to follow, will try to figure it out myself instead of wasting people's time here
Oh, just tried the POST idea on my laptop, works great! Thanks! Now time to look at MortScript me thinks

Opera on AT&T Fuze

Hi All,
I was told by an AT&T guy that you could change the opera config file to make opera on the Fuze act a fully functional browser. The problem I am having is the opera will take to me to the mobile version of websites and I don't want that. I have tried changing the user agent to 2 and 3, but that didn't correct the problem. Does anyone know what has to be changed to make this work?
thanks
billf.

A couple of other things to do in the opera:config page. First, you want to change the "Custom User-Agent" in "user prefs" to "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0;en)" (although I've also heard that just deleting that string works, too, but I haven't tried it).
The other thing is to delete the HTTP and HTTPS server names in the "Proxy" section.
These changes will get you to the normal version of most sites (although there are some sites that still redirect to wap/mobile versions -- I don't use any of these on a regular basis, but nba.com is one such).

You can upgrade to build 2745
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252&highlight=opera+2745&page=15
I followed all of the tips and some of the sites still wouldn't go, no matter what changes I made. I followed owziee's directions in the link above exactly and upgraded to the 2745 build that herg posted in that same thread. Works perfectly and I can now go to desktop sites. You do have to make the additional changes, can't just run the cab or it doesn't fit vga and zoom properly, but with my low to intermediate skills it wasn't a problem to do.

I can't stand this Opera Mobile. Web pages are constantly changing size on my, and I can't zoom in or out. Is there any way to change the default browser to IE? IE works much better for me.

i didnt like opera at first but its actually way better then PIE. go to the opera settings and there is a button that says "mobile view" uncheck it and all websites are not in mobile view.
also. im sure u know. but for zooming u can run your finger in a circle clockwise or counterclockwise on the button to make it zoom in or out...or u can double tap the touch screen for it to zoom in.

all you gotta do is add to the end of your web address is "index.html". ex. espn.com/index.html
Works perfectly

You have to disable your proxy for your data connection or it will go to the mobile version as well. That is in connection settings. Uncheck the box that says this connection uses a proxy. I was getting all mobile sites until I did that.

waste of time
screw all that programming - just install skyfire and set it as your default browser through itself and if that doesnt work, install total commander and change the internet file - google it and you'll find simple instructions

Hi,
Here's the link to the Opera Mobile thread; have a look at the last 25 or so posts in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502
In a nutshell, stock ROM's receive many post-configuration changes via .PROVXML; this means that the experience of applications are changed by the carrier to suit their requirements.
There are a few adjustments that are required in order to achive the experience you're after ... the link will help you achieve your desired configuration and saves me repeating all the same info here.

[Q] Activate javascript in IE10 mobile?

Nokia Lumia 920
I am having a problem with a mobile version of one website on my Windows Phone: The home page loads and displays correctly, but when you touch a link, a "server or DNS cannot be found" - error is shown. However, after hitting "refresh", the page addressed by the link is displayed fine. This is very annoying, so I reported that behavior to the web master of the site.
The suggested solutions that came in response were two:
- allow cookies all the time (I changed that setting, but it did not fix the issue)
- make sure that java scripting is enabled in the Internet Explorer
While in the regular version of IE you can adjust this setting easily through the respective menu, I couldn't find any option in the Windows Phone system or in the options of IE mobile to adjust java scripting.
Questions:
1. Can these settings be changed at all?
2. What are the java script settings in IE mobile by default?
Many thanks
Joerg

First of all, "JavaScript" - one word - is the language commonly used in websites. Java (which is not scripted, although in old versions it was interpreted much the way scripts are) is occasionally also used on the web, but very rarely.
Windows Phone supports JavaScript, and this support cannot be turned off in the browser to the best of my knowledge. Apps can turn it off within their internal WebView controls, but in IE it is always on.
Possibly a silly suggestion, but have you tried rebooting the phone? After that, my next suggestion would be trying the mobile site in IE10 on the desktop, probably using the Developer Tools to spoof the WP8 IE10 user agent string.

Yes, I tried rebooting - to no avail. Opening the site in IE10 on the desktop does not work, because it automatically detects the browser and switches to the regular (instead of the mobile) site.
Meanwhile, I have encountered the same issue with more mobile sites: clicking on links causes an error. This error does not occurr when you open the site e.g. in Safari on an Ipad.

I take it you're not overly familiar with how web browsers (and servers) work. I can try figuring out what the problem is if you let us know what the problematic site is, though.

Hello guys ... I dont know if this is the place to post my problem but its the only one that is close to what I have as an issue... So .. I have a problem with some active buttons in some sites, when I log in the site there are little active buttons on the top of the page ( account, community, forum, etc. ) so when I try to click on those buttons the phone ( lumia 920 ) just selects the text and gives me the option to copy it. I have few android devices and there is no such issue with them, I dont know if this is connected with the java script or flash or what ever ... I just need some help if there is a fix for this. THX in advance and have a happy new year :good::good::good:

If possible, tap off the text but still on the button (zoom in if you need to). You could also try tapping more quickly, or alternatively tap-and-hold and see if it offers you the context menu for links.
