I'm trying to develop a mobile application using XHTML and
i want to use server side scripting. Can i use asp.net with XHTML
to do this?
Also, which is supported more widely? XHTML or WML?

thanks,
-SJ.

Hi SJ

I think XHTML is a pretty shaky proposition for mobile devices. Many mobile
browsers don't support it directly.

If you use ASP.NET's Mobile controls it will output the right code depending
on the device's capabilities. This may be XHTML, HTML, WML etc.
