The documentation for ExcelEverywhere for HTML is valid.
Only the A-column of each selected sheet will be visible. The A-column on each sheet will become a separate form in the application.
Colors, borders, fonts are ignored.
Entering numbers with decimals on a mobile is very awkward. Therefore, set the number of decimals to 0 and no thousand separators to make it easy to enter.
The mobile phone has special controls for entering time and date, these are supported by ExcelEverywhere.

When you press “submit” the mobile sends the data entered to an email address. It works both from the phone and in the emulator.
In order to submit, you have to request a special code called target. You get one by clicking on the button “Request trial target”. Enter the email address you want to receive the data from the mobile phone. (You can ignore the 30-day limit for now. In the long run, we will charge for the service to send data as emails. Probably starting at a few dollar per month.)
If you get the message “Ok: Data successfully sent” the communication works. If you do not get any email, our mail delivery has failed. Please let us know.
If you do not get the message “Ok: Data successfully sent” the communication failed. The causes can be many, for example
Make sure that our server works by testing using an emulator.
Is the phone correctly configured?
Is GPRS included in your phone subscription?
Is it a temporary glitch at your operator? ‘
Our suggestions are to
Check if you can WAP-surf, if not, configure the phone.
Wait an hour or until the evening and try again.
Try using another phone and/or operator.
Try with another Java program that communications over the internet.
You have to install these two, otherwise ExcelEverywhere for Java phones will not work.
