Pocket Internet Explorer on a Pocket PC

Headings and paragraphs

Pocket Internet Explorer makes a much better job of the test page, due to it's multitude of fonts. It also ignores styles sheets, and font-family, so this typeface (which looks suspiciously like Verdana to me) is the native (and only) choice.

All six headings are represented, although six is unreadable. The br tag is three pixels high, but not 100% of the width of the page.

 

Font tags

All the font size tags are displayed correctly. Even the address tag is rendered better than Blazer does, as it is flush with the paragraphs either side of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inline tags

The second attempt at inline styles shows that there is a monospaced font! Unfortunately it's pretty ugly. However, sup, sub and both methods of strikeout work fine. Plus, there's always underlining.

Blockquote

Blockquote does indent, but you can't make horizontal rules smaller.

Tables

The caption tag works fine, and cellspacing looks like it works too.

 

 

Nested unordered lists

There's no change in bullets to indicate a nested list, but Pocket IE does do the indenting properly.

 

 

 

 

 

Ordered lists

Looks fine to me.

 

 

Forms

All tags seem rather nice. No problems with the checkboxes this time.

 

 

 

 

 

Select menus

Seems to work well too. Even does a scroll bar.

 

 

 

 

Marquee

Microsoft don't even support their own proprietary tags.

 

Pre

Again, using the monospaced Pocket PC font, but this time in a block element.

 

 

 

Extra characters

linear navigation test The linear navtest on a pocket PC looks good, with bullets being rendered circular.
