“File Format Not Supported” for WAP/WML

November 8, 2007 By miketeo

I have been coding a bit of WML for a WAP site recently. All seem to look good until some Nokia phones like 6100i and E-series fail to display certain WML pages. These pages work on 6230 and my Sony-Ericsson K750i. It isn’t until I run the WAP site through WAP Proof that I manage to discover the problem. The <img> tags on these problematic WML pages fail to include the alt attribute. Apparently, the WAP browsers on these phones need to see this attribute in the <img> tags, or else it will raise the "File Format Not Supported" error.
