So, any ideas? I'm still having the same problem. Seems weird the iPhone works fine but not the HTC. Like you say, it shouldn't matter because it's just a webpage!

 Been trying lots, but it never loads :-(

It's the default HTC Desire browser, don't know what it is. I would guess it's just the normal Android browser, but can't say for certain. I just click the Internet icon on the phone.

Hmmm...
It probably has something to do with Adroid/Adroids browser..

Try to install Opera on your phone.

I've just downloaded and tried Opera 5 mini and get the same results, just a progress bar that never loads the page.

I produced a quick video to show you what happens, here:

@Maarten Yes JavaScript is working fine on other web pages, I just checked to make sure.

@Rick Just tried a couple of different ports, but no difference.

Has anyone else managed to use the remote on the HTC Desire, or any Android OS phone? Is this a problem that is exclusive to me or is it more widespread?

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Someone on YouTube spotted my phone wasn't actually connected to the wifi, even though the phone settings said it should be. Turns out I had to reboot my router and get a new connection. Such a stupid thing, means my phone hasn't been connected to the network for days! I hadn't noticed a thing...

Just shows how good the 3G connections on mobile phones are these days that I couldn't tell the difference between that and my ADSL broadband!

Sorry for wasting your time, I didn't do it deliberately. I blame my crappy router!

Great!  ;D
I'm brainstorming on this for days. I'm glad it's not a bug :)

No problem; we learn as well from this scenario.

If you add this to the end of your html header / beginning of html body it should hide the title bar on the iphone:

...
<meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, user-scalable=no">
    <!-- script um auf dem iPhone die Adresszeile auszublenden-->
   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
      // Hide MobileSafari Toolbar when page is loaded
      window.addEventListener("load", function() { setTimeout(loaded, 100) }, false);
      function loaded() {
         document.getElementById("topbar").style.visibility = "visible";
         window.scrollTo(0, 1); // pan to the bottom, hides the location bar
      }
   </script>
   <!-- ende ausblendskript-->


</head>
<body>

<div id="topbar" width: 300px >


....
cheers

The location bar should already hide on the iPhone as the startup() function does exactly that (scroll to 0,1).

However, as iPhone OS changes those "tricks" might stop working.
