Mythweb on your mobile phone: a chtml theme? (non-WAP) for DoCoMo I-mode phones

A big thank you for all of your help so far...

I am re-writing this message after a few replies asking me what the
hell I was talking about.

I am trying to access Mythweb from over my Mobile Phone. After posting
about it on this list, I got tons of help about how to view it on a
WAP enabled phone (the standard in America I believe). Although WAP is
just about the right size, and a perfect layout (well at least it
looks so when I view it from Firefox), I-mode docomo phones do not use
the WAP system. They use chtml, an html designed specifically for cell
phones.

I was wondering if anyone had a chtml theme that would work for i-mode
phones, a wap to chtml converter, or any other brilliant ideas on how
to view mythweb from a non-wap compliant cellphone (wml does not seem
to work either.)

I know that making up the chtml wouldn't be that hard (especially if I
just followed the WAP layout), but that would require me not being
stupid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

I'd never heard of chtml before, just wap & wml [UK]. Looks like chtml is
pretty much only docomo phones, and even then is on its way out.

'Fraid your best bet is reading up on chtml (mostly the same as html my the
reading of it), copying the wap theme and making it just be html. Then tweak
your mythweb to point to 'chtml' upo the user-agent.

You may also have to learn a bit of php ... :-/
