basic information to start

Question

I want to build several web pages for a Windows CE PDA (.NET2003/CE4.1/5.0). Now that I know my target device and I do not want to support things like WAP, what is the best way to start?

If I start with the typical mobile web project, VS creates a mobile form for me and complains if I try to use things like CSS. So should i just start  with a standard web site for the PDA? Or is there a middle approach to still have access to the functionality provided by the System.Web.Mobile namespace and use all the stuff the PDA browser is capable of like CSS and javascript?

Can someone point me here into the right direction?

The one thing I really want to use is client side validation, e.g. an error icon popping up next to a textbox if validation failes triggered by e.g. a Required- or RegexValidator. I tried to do that just a few moments ago, but while the server side validation works the client does sadly nothing when I enter and leave the textbox. The behavior on IE6 is like expected, so the icon pops up.
