Date picker is not usable from Blackberry Storm.  From Firefox I notice 
that when you first load the date picker it doesn't highlight the dates 
with the purple border for dates that already have an absence.  It does on 
the second time you pull it up though.  Have you thought about using 
modals instead of alert boxes?
Thanks

Re: [WEB400] existing cgi site, smartphone access
I put together an app using jQuery Mobile I am not completely happy 
with, yet.  You can find it here:
http://www.asaap.com/asaap3/ASAAP?action=MobileDefault
The full access analog (the web site it is an alternative to) can be 
found here:
http://www.asaap.com/asaap3/ASAAP
This is a software application I sell that helps school districts manage 
their employee attendance (both absences and time worked).
You can sign on to either web app using the userid of 10123 and a 
password of 1234.  (you can try both and see what the "full" web version 
is like vs just the mobile version).  The mobile app still needs quite a 
bit of work for maintaining the absence information.  Existing absences 
show up with a purple highlight around the border but I should probably 
just retrieve and display that information so that it can be 
maintained.  Still need to add some functionality.
I'll post up a PhoneGap Web App next and then a full mobile app later 
on.  I spent way too much time with the jQuery stuff assuming it would 
be a fairly quick app to throw together (always famous last words).  I 
had some issues with the JSON/Ajax loading of the selects.  There is a 
"feature" in jQuery Mobile that prevents it from happening easily. 
However, someone posted a workaround that works quite well so that got 
me going again.
These are live applications.  They are accessing the DB2 for i database 
on i.  They are Java servlet apps at the back end but could just as 
easily be RPG since they just deliver JSON through an Ajax call.

I have an article coming out this coming week that shows how to use
SenchaTouch with OpenRPGUI.  Sencha touch is a fairly full featured
mobile UI framework.  Pete Helgren and Neils Liisberg also posted some
recent findings about jqTouch and jQuery and their mobile efforts.
The latter appear to have a smaller footprint concerning download.

asked to take existing cgi site, make it smartphone friendly.
Not just a point/click site, but data entry text (order detail includes 
up to 8 names&  addresses which they can store common ones to select from 
drop down)
What works well (or doesn't work well) in small screen apps?
