Web and WebWorks Development

[shabbydg]

Hi,

I have built a simple widget package that simply loads and displays a mobile website that is hosted on a GoDaddy server. Baiscally I want it to act like browser without looking like one. But the pages take a very long time to load on the app whereas the same site loads relatively fast on any other browser.

Am I doing something completely wrong or is there any tweaking or properties that I have missed out.

For reference I have added my config file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
    xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets"
    version="1.0.0.3">
    <name>Raj Online Sri Lanka</name>
    <description>A Business Directory for Sri Lankan Companies</description>
    <author rim:copyright="2012"
          email="info@digitalarc.lk">DigitalArc</author>
    <icon src="icon.png"/>
    <content src="http://m.rajonline.lk"/>
    <access subdomains="true" uri="*"/>
    <rim:loadingScreen backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
          backgroundImage="loading.gif"
          onFirstLaunch="true"
          onRemotePageLoad="true">
    </rim:loadingScreen>
    <rim:cache maxCacheSizeTotal="2048" maxCacheSizeItem ="256" />
</widget>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using the web inspector to determine if there are any errors?

I am testing the App on a phone running OS 5 to make sure it works on older platforms. So how can I test it?

It sounds like something is blocking the UI.  There could be some piece of JavaScript or page content that is not supported on BlackBerry 5 that is causing issues.  Unfortunately remote web inspector is not available in OS5.  That was introduced later (BlackBerry 7).
