AbelCam PDA tweak help
By: SeanGa Rank: Frequent User Topics: 15 From: n/a	Added: 05/04/2010 - 04:39 AM Hello again, Trying to get the PDA web interface working with my BlackBerry curve. The Bberry OS (4.5) doesn't like frames, so I've combined the control_frame and cam_frame into a single page to get my SSI+hrefs and cam picture (current.jpg) all on the same html page. The tilt_pan/zoom SSI are working, and they move the camera (Logitech Orbitz)the right directions. The problem I'm having is that while the camera moves, I don't get redirected back to my originating/calling html page. I simply get processing messages: "AbelCam Cam moving AbelCam Cam moving processing" I dug around trying to find how to tweak the SSI script to do a html redirect or refresh (after move) without any luck. Am I on the right track? What I'd prefer is to embed a SSI in a up.html down.html left/right page that will issue the commands and then a meta refresh that will send me back to my cam_control&view.html page (that doesn't use any frames and calls the up/down/left/right html pages). Is this possible? Thanks for any help you can lend.

In the current setup, the result of the move command is meant to be 'shown' in a hidden frame. If your browser does support neither frames nor iframes, you won't be able to hide the result. If you're happy with a user configurable standard result html page instead of the builtin message "AbelCam Cam moving", I may implement that change for the next release.
