How to view HTML page in Pocket PC emulator

Hi ,

I have created few HTML pages with some javascript for Pocket PC -
this is my first attempt. How does one view them in the emulator. I
have absolutely no idea. If anyone could please tell me or point me a
beginners tutorial that explains how to view HTML pages in emulator. I
would really appreciate their help.

My page is actually a form that takes user input. I need to save
these inputs in a XML file on the device. How do I go about doing
that.

Thanks in advance.

Enter the address where the page is.

Saving to a file locally is not simple, as there is no FSO under CE. You
likely need to create your own ActiveX objectthat exposes whatever file
writing capabilities you want. Remember, this is not a desktop machine.

I tried opening a file in emulator IE provided with VS 2005 but it
could not find
the file - it is locally present.(c:\att\...)

Something I am not doing right?

c:\... is certainly not local. The emulator is a separate device. It is
not your PC and it knows nothing about your PC. It has no C: driver (or any
lettered drive for that matter). You have a few options:

1. Host the file in IIS on the PC and browse by IP
2. Move the file to the emulator's file system
3. Configure the emulator to share the PC folder containing the file so it
shows up in the device's file system

Option #3 is probably easiest for testing.
