When javascript doesn't seem to be working, I usually hack in a quick error handler.If you add this somewhere at the top of your html page, you should see any errors that occur listed in Visual Studio's output window.
window.onerror = function(errMsg,fileName,ln) {
window.external.Notify("Error : " + errMsg +
", In file : " + fileName +
", at line number:" + ln);
}
Here's the slides from a recent presentation I gave on Windows and PhoneGap/Cordova. http://purplecabbage.github.com/slides/WinEco/
It's been a busy morning here at the //build conference in Redmond, just piecing it all together now ... Over the last month and half or so, we have been quietly working away on bringing Windows Phone 8 support to Apache Cordova. The SDK has been in private beta, so we had to fly under the radar, but I am proud to say we can finally talk about it.
The majority of the effort has been done by Sergei Grebnov ( https://github.com/sgrebnov ) with tech support from the MSOpenTech team.
Expect to see the repos landing in github + apache shortly. It doesn't look like it will be included as part of the 2.2.0 download, for release today or tomorrow, but I am trying to make that happen. Downloading the public SDK right now ...
