Web Clipping Create and Test

 

1) Load up Web Clipping Application and select HTML files you wish to include in this Web Clipping Application. You must have one root HTML document, usually called index.html

2) Build the PQU and save it as a pqa file, say Helloworld.pqa

3) Now start your Palm OS emulator and load in the Web Clipping Application you wish to run, by either selecting the Install Application/Database command or dragging and dropping the pqa file to the Palm OS emulator window. You must also setup POSE to be able to access the Internet as follows:

After you have transferred a ROM image to your personal computer for use with POSE, you need to enable POSE for web clipping, which requires you to change two settings in POSE:

  • Redirect NetLib requests to your desktop computer's TCP/IP connection, as described in Redirecting NetLib Requests in POSE.
  • Change the proxy server setting in POSE, as described in Change the Proxy Server in POSE.

Redirecting NetLib Requests in POSE

  1. If you're using Windows or Unix, right-click the POSE display and select Preferences from the Settings menu. If you're on a Macintosh, select Preferences from the Edit menu.
  2. Check the Redirect NetLib calls to host TCP/IP checkbox.
  3. Reset the emulated device: in Windows or Unix, right-click and choose Reset; on a Macintosh, select Reset from the File menu.

Change the Proxy Server in POSE

You need to change the proxy server setting in the emulated device to make web clippings work with POSE. Follow these steps in POSE:

  1. Click the Applications Launcher button.
  2. Click the Prefs application.
  3. Select Web Clipping from the pulldown menu.
  4. Set the Proxy server value. If you are using version 4.0 or later of the Palm OS, you can use the proxy.palm.net alias for the proxy server value, as shown in Figure below. If you are using an earlier version of the Palm OS, enter an IP address value. You can determine the current proxy server IP address to use by checking http://oasis.palm.com/dev/proxy/.

 

4) Now launch the application...hit the applications button and find your application you just loaded and run it.

enjoy the results
