Hi,

I am using Visual Studio.net 2003 to build a mobile web application. I
haven't install Device Updated 2.0.

Dows anyone know if I can use CSS in my mobile web forms?

E.G.
<mobile:Link id="Link2" cssclass="style1" runat="server" NavigateUrl="link">
Example of a mobile link control
</mobile:Link>

I've tried the above example but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, can you use standard HTML elements like <a>, <p> etc. instead of
mobile controls and apply CSS (cssClass)?

Many thanks,
eleni

You have to place a mobile style sheet on your page and the reference it
from the link object property "StyleReference".

Thanks for this but I was actually reffering to CSS styles not to the Mobile
Style control.

I've alredy used a mobile style but I am just wondering if you could add
further formating using CSS for devices that allow HTML rendering.

You would need to use a device specific tag. Check out this:

You want the section "Inserting Arbitrary Content"

Then look at the second example under "Viewsource".
