<DIV><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just spent
the morning playing around with a Polycom IP600's microbrowser. Everything
is working pretty well. In answer to the question of what type of XML it
runs, it appears to be more or less XHTML-compliant. I have created a
basic set of web pages allowing users to clock in and out against our MySQL
timeclock system, running a PHP back-end. It's running like a
champ.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Administrator's guide, pages 106, 107, and 53 to get it set up
correctly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>When creating web
applications, be very careful about syntax. Here's a few gotcha's that I
have found:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Notice the little
slash on the end. This is very XML-based, so you MUST have perfectly
balanced tags. Most browsers are intelligent enough to ignore little
errors like these, but the polycom browser is very touchy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Forget about
<i> and <b> tags, they work if you remember the </i> and
</b> counterparts, but don't seem to make much of a difference.
Same with </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other things I
have noticed: selects (i.e. drop-down menus) don't seem to work, using a
<br> gave me problems, and tables look like crap, so just use
paragraphs. One thing to note is that the title of the page will appear at
the top, centered, so give your pages good titles.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=606273719-02092004><FONT face=Arial size=2>One important
security note, I have not yet found a way to clear or limit the history.
So, if I press the back button 3 or 4 times, I tend to get re-clocked-out and
other fun stuff. I'm using server sessions, but it seems that the phone
will keep those alive between times you press the "services" button. If
anybody finds a setting to fix this, let me know. For now, I have set some
session variables to allow an authentication to only be used one time before
resetting it. My next try will be setting 30-second sessions for PHP, but
I really want the sessions to reset when the user switches away from the
microbrowser.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
