XHTML crashes browser

Hi,

I've a servlet sending to the mobile browser the following XHTML MP page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<head>
<title>
TIM
</title>
<link href="routeAssist.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<img src="./images/logo.png" alt="Logo" />
</p>
<h5> Configure </h5>
<form action="logic" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="headingCell">
<b> Start: </b>
</td>
<td class="headingCell">
<p>
<input name="startDate" value="02-12-2005-15.44" size="7" class="town" />
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headingCell">
<b> Days: </b>
</td>
<td class="headingCell">
<p>
<input type="radio" value="0" name="setOfDays" checked="checked" />Week<br />
<input type="radio" value="1" name="setOfDays" />Weekend
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headingCell">
<b> When: </b>
</td>
<td class="headingCell">
<p>
From: <input name="startHour" value="7.00" class="town" size="3" /> <br />
To: <input name="endHour" value="20.00" class="town" size="3"/>
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="headingCell">
<b> What: </b>
</td>
<td class="headingCell">
<p>
<input type="radio" value="TrafficWebCam"
id="allEvents" name="mode" checked="checked" />All<br/>
<input type="radio" value="TrafficWebCam_"
id="closeEvents" name="mode" />Close
<input name="radius" class="cap" value="3"
size="3" /> Km.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<p>
<input type="submit" value="OK" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="6"/>
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<p>
<a href="./index.jsp">Back</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

and this sometimes causes the browser to crash (6680, 6630), sometimes it does not display properly (I cannot check check boxes) and when I hit submit the browser crashes. This usually happen if a reach the page after a few navigation steps rather than directly.

Does anyone has any idea about this behaviour?

Thanks

Paola

If you would check your xhtml in a validator, you would easily see that you have the <html> tag missing at the beginning of the document, which IMHO is probably the cause for this bug.
A good validator would be http://validator.w3.org/
Just feed it your file in it will spout out all the incorrections in you html.

Yeci-Hell.

I've put the missing <html> tag and checked my document with the validator you suggested and it was actually valid XHTML.
I've also changed the <form> method attribute value to "get" and the situation seem to be more stable.

Thanks

I used the following DOCTYPE to replaced XHTML Mobile, it works fine.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

That's an idea, but are sure that XHTML Transitional DTD is supported by the mobile browser?

I sure that is.... most. Cheers!
