Internet Explorer Mobile – enable Javascript error reporting

During HTML developing you should enable Javascript Error Warnings:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"ShowScriptErrors"=dword:00000001

Adaption Kit Updates are described here.

A list of AKU s is posted here and here

AJAX and Windows Mobile 6

Thanks to all these new terms for the same thing to MS. PIE, MIE, IEM is all the same) with the release of Windows Mobile 6.1.4: Internet Explorer Mobile.

I did a short test and will still recommend Access Netfront for professional use. IEM runs slow and I can not see the ((un-)documented) enhancements for web programmers.
