AJAX'd mobile IE homepage

[martinkendall]

With all the talk of AJAX at the moment, I've had a play with it in mobile IE. I wanted a local homepage that could load when I start IE and give me access to most of the services I use.
So from that homepage, I can get to:
Searching multiple search engines (Google, Wapedia, dictionary.com, etc)
My del.icio.us tags
My del.icio.us bookmarks tagged as 'mobilefavorites'
My favorite RSS feeds
And some standard "bookmarks"

I've also set it up so I can go to the full webpages or view them via Google's gwt.

I've attached a copy if anyone is interested (either to use it or just to see how it works).
To customise for your own RSS feeds, favorites and searches just edit "config.xml" - When you edit this, make sure it is valid XML (try loading it into IE to see if it displays OK - I usually forget to replace '&' with '&')

I'm working on a website that is very similar. It's not ajax yet, because i'm focusing on the lowest common denominator such as mobile phones running browsers like netfront or ones that are to slow to really run javascript code at a reasonable rate.

the site is at http://wampad.com. I'm also working on a uk centric version but i haven't released that yet.

The only thing it haven't added yet is rss feeds, but i'm working on it. The tag I use for del.icio.us bookmarks is mtag.

I'd really like to here what you think.

There's a nice right up at, http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=100

I am pretty sure that PIE doesnt support the xmlhttp control.... This could be why you have commented out methods like getXML and added comments like "This doesnt work in PIE"

Thanks gurok, I'd forgotten I'd left those comments it.
PIE doe support the xmlhttp control (It is actually used in the code to retrieve the RSS feeds) - what it doesn't seem to support is basic authentication with the xmlhttp control.
Thanks
