So I am using my very cool new Sprint 6700 Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone which is awesome and I am sitting on an airplane at SeaTac airport this morning. Okay, I have sucked at blogging lately....Sorry....but so I decide this phone is going to help me blog during free moments.

So this was one of those moments. In fact, it was the first of those moments and here I could contribute to something important like how bad the airports were on Saturday morning, two days after the new flying rules.

And so, I log into aspadvice.com and whoops hit an error page but I am able to get around that (note to Steve Smith, there is a problem with http://aspadvice.com/admin/blogs/default.aspx page). Anyway, I successfully log in and create my cutting edge post on the state of SeaTac and I am stopped dead in my tracks by a crappy old JavaScript dependent link button control.

This one to be exact:

<a id="_ctl0__ctl0_TaskRegion_Editor1_PostButton" class="CommonTextButton" onclick="bypassCheck();" href="BLOCKED SCRIPT{if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) != 'function' ||  Page_ClientValidate()) __doPostBack('_ctl0$_ctl0$TaskRegion$Editor1$PostButton','')} ">Post</a>

I'm sorry but I can't believe how leading-edge Community Server 2.0 is hostile to mobile PC blog posts! This is horrible. I can't believe that all the way geekier folks who blog on the hundreds of Community Server's out there haven't come across this. What is a mobile blogger supposed to do?

Seems to me that Telligent should either use a real button or detect if you are using a non-JS / mobile browser and branch to some non-JS dependent solution.
