Hi Stephen,
QUESTION
Some mobile devices which support web browsing also contain calendars or
other scheduling functions. How can I access the scheduling functions on
those mobile devices when they browse my web page?
ANSWER
This would be on a per device basis. Most devices will NOT include a
programmatic interface for other programs running on the device to interact
with that device's calendar functions. If the device has such an interface,
and if the device allows web page client-side scripting, and if the
interface is accessible from web page client-side scripting, then you can
use that interface to gain access to the calendar functions.
Whether the device supports client-side script is public information. For
those devices which support script, you will need to contact each
manufacturer to ask if there is a programmatic interface for the calendar
features and if that interface can be accessed from client script.
Thank you, Mike Moore
