META Tags

Javascript

<!-- The SNTP META Tag is an action tag used to synchronize the device clock with a network SNTP server. --> <!-- <META HTTP-Equiv="SNTP" Content="ServerIP:[Value]"> --> <!-- The IP address of the SNTP time server -->

<script> /* The SNTP META Tag is an action tag used to synchronize the device clock with a network SNTP server. */ function doSNTPInit() { var objGeneric = new ActiveXObject("PocketBrowser.Generic"); //objGeneric.InvokeMETAFunction('SNTP', 'ServerIP:[Value]'); /* The IP address of the SNTP time server */ } </script>

The following example sets the device time from a network time server:

<META HTTP-Equiv="SNTP" Content="ServerIP:132.163.4.102">

Latency

Once this tag is parsed PocketBrowser will request the time from the SNTP server immediately, however the clock will not be updated until a response is received. Network latency and connectivity issues can all affect the speed and success with which this tag is actioned.

Proxy Settings

Windows Mobile 5.0 will not allow you to obtain SNTP time when requesting via a proxy server, it is recommended the proxy is bypassed for this to work.
