How to make a Web App that works with beacons?

I know you can work with beacons with a iOS app or Android app.
But you can work with a web app to?
(A website recognize a beacon and do something)
Unfortunately, the general answer is no. You need native components to detect Bluetooth beacons on both Android and iOS. The web browsers on both operating systems have no hooks to detect beacons via JavaScript or HTML.
Chrome OS does have Bluetooth bindings in its Chrome browser, which may allow you to build a web app on Chrome OS that does this. But this would really be a Chrome App not a general purpose web app.
The Chrome browser for iOS and Android also detects Eddystone-URL beacons, but it will not pass the detection info to a web app. Detections are sent to the user as a notification and tapping on that notification simply brings up a configured URL in the Chrome web browser. This does not allow any dynamic web app behavior based on beacon detections.

We can assume configuration as nokia 2100, nokia 1616. How am I supposed to deploy my app on such handsets?
OTA is required to work on every MIDP mobile device, just navigate with the device browser to the jad URL and click it.

change browser for sencha touch 2

We are developing an app with Sencha Touch 2 and PhoneGap 2.0. We also want to use WebGL.
But neither the android browser nor safari mobile supports it.
However Opera Mobile 12 supports WebGL. Is it possible to start the sencha app with Opera Mobile?
Firstly, PhoneGap overrides the capability of Native Android browser. We cannot use the Opera Mobile browser features for developing the PhoneGap Applications.
Secondly, Sencha Touch is not supported by Opera Mobile. It runs only on WebKit browsers. I am not sure about Mobile chrome. But any other browser except android default browser will not able to run all features of sencha.
Hope you got your answer.
You can try RhoElements v1 browser. It also only supports WebKit as far as I know.

Is it possible to run an Appcelerator Titanium applicatin in web browser like Flex?

Is it possible to share code between mobile and web versions of an application created with Appcelerator Titanium? I want to create a mobile application but I also want my users accessing the app using desktop Internet browser, like Flex application can be run in Flash Player or AIR. Is it possible to share code between mobile and web versions of the app?
Thanks,
Michal
There is a beta or pre release version of a web sdk that will support that functionality. Will try and track down the link, certain it can be found on the Appcelerator developer blog

Stream/Play audio files on mobile browsers

I am trying to create a mobile website and want to be able to play/stream audio files.I have tried html5's audio tag and tried testing it on opera mobile 10 simulator but it does not work. I have lots of audio files and the audio should be auto played.
sidenote:
Also, i need to test my website for android and iphone mobile phones. I am downloading android emulator for windows. I tried searching for iphone emulator for windows but there are none...
Phone emulators aren't always a good indicator as they do not usually have a media player installed. The best way to test is to find someone with an actual Andriod / Blackberry / iPhone.
You should try the same HTML5 code with an actual phone. Note that Opera Mobile 10 does not have support for the video/audio tag. If you're interested in streaming to mobiles without HTML5, you should check this FAQ entry for more information.
