CONVERTING CONTENT OF MARKUP DATA FOR WIRELESS DEVICES
A method and system for converting content of electronic data for wireless services is provided. The method and system allow a wireless device such as a wireless telephone (12) to receive electronic documents with electronic data such as web pages from the World-Wide-Web on the Internet (20) in a format suitable for display on a wireless device (12). An original electronic document in a first markup language such as Hyper Text Markup Language ("HTML") is converted (16) from a Wireless Application Protocol ("WAP"). Textual document elements and non-textual document elements (e.g., images) are converted (16) from a format suitable for the first markup language into a format suitable for the second markup language. A converted document (e.g., WML) suitable for display on a wireless device (12) is sent in response to a request for an original electronic document (e.g., HTML). Receiving a converted electronic document in response to a request for an original document may lead to greater satisfaction for users of wireless devices.
