I ran this up the flagpole at both HoFo and ii and didn't get a single responce, so here goes...

I went to "My View" to change the layout of my text messaging folder. In stead of the main Text Messaging folder dividing into
1. Send Message
2. Read Messages
3. Preferences
and each of them dividing further, I wanted to have it go straight to what's inside those folders and show this:
1. Send New Address
2. Send Sent Address
3. Send My Addresses
4. Message Inbox
5. Saved Messages
6. Subscriber Name
7. My Replies
8. My Messages
9. Message Confirm
0. My Destination
Everything went fine. I got all the URLs from menu\advanced\Show URL untill one issue came up.
The addresses for the Send Message folder (original layout) and the New Address page (new layout) are the same.
http://phnmsg.nextel.com/cgi/n.dll?c=39
Don't click on it, you can only get there from a Nextel phone.
If I enter that address manually, I go to the Send Message folder. I can then click on Sent Addresses or My Addresses and go there and they each have their own addresses. If I click on New Address, the browser goes there fine, but the address is the same. How can two pages have the same address?
How can I type in a URL to get directly to the New Address page without having to go through a Send Message folder, which I am trying to delete.
My purpose for doing this is because requesting pages and waitting for them to get to your phone is a slow process and the fewer requests you make, the sooner you can finish.

Hey ai4i,

I dont know the answer but here is what the problem is.
WML web pages run off of 'cards'. A card is pretty much each page of data displayed on the phone.
On each web page, you can have multiple cards.
The main card, or the first one displayed is usually defined as #Home.
All of the other cards have names but that is up to whoever made the web page.
You specify between by what card you want to show on the phone by adding a #Name at the end of your link.
Like http://phnmsg.nextel.com/cgi/n.dll?c=39#Home would probably go to the first card on that page.
And then http://phnmsg.nextel.com/cgi/n.dll?c=39#New might go to the second card.
The only problem is that you have no clue on what that second card's name is.
I guess you could try guessing at what it might be but thats really the only way to get it.
Hope that helps.

Wow, this is really informative. I'm going to play around with my settings a little now.

Thanks ai4i  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Thank Teknidude, he's El Señor.

I should have also mentioned that my OpenWave browser will not let me mark the "write new" page, either. :(

Continueing this thread, Teknidude's answer above might answer this one, too.  Here goes:
The URL for "Whats New" is http://uphpgen.adc.nexteldata.net/jsp/whatsnew_menu.
Don't click on it here; nothing will happen.
But, if I create a new bookmark and manually enter that URL, I get a long error message.  When I look at the URL of the error message, it shows error:neterr/g
I know d**n well I did not enter error:neterr/g for the URL, but there it is, in dark green and light green.
The educateder I get, the confuseder I also get.

Well I think you are missing the ending prefix of the web page.
Like .asp  or .html
See if you forgot the ending of the URL

OK the correct URL is:
http://uphpgen.adc.nexteldata.net/jsp/whatsnew_menu.wml

It was only missing the .wml at the end.

Right you are, and of course it worked.
Guess I failed to scroll down at the end.
