Thanks for the feedback dklawren. I haven't tried this out in Firefox at all so the info in that regard is appreciated.
I was only able to get css to work properly in the demo app by including the css file directly using a <link> tag. This should not be necessary
AFAIK, the framework should load this automatically, so there is more work to be done in that regard.
I got a chance to try out one of the bundled third party apps (the Nascar app, with a nod to the first `hello world' app). It loads up without any errors, but it makes some ajax calls to what looks like a `bridge' service that would be running on the pre to proxy ajax calls. Here is what a typical call would look like locally:
file:///C:/bridge/handle_method.
js?methodParams=%7B%22subscribe%22%3A%20true%7D&serviceMethod=control%2Fstatus&service Name=com.palm.display
Since this does not return data, the app just displays a blank screen.
Also, a lot of the native palm apps, such as the clock, appear to be `headless' apps. These apps will load up, but they don't show the UI. I don't know yet how to get the app to launch its UI when not running on the phone.
