Maybe you can just use strict XHTML and CSS as the default layout.
This ensures the web will be viewed perfectly in both browsers. In
https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/249 you can see an html
and xhtml validator addon for mozilla firefox based on the w3c method.
Anyway, the simplest form of auto layout selection is modifying the
Controller constructor (cake 1.1, don't know the difference with cake
1.2)
/cake/libs/controller/controller.php
In function __construct() just put:
if(CONDITIONS FOR MOBILE BROWSER)
$this->layout = 'the-layout-for-mobile';
else
$this->layout = 'default-layout for pc browser';
In CONDITIONS you can use php global variables, example
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '127.0.0.1')
$this->layout = 'default';
else
$this->layout = 'layout2';
I thinls _SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] can show you the kind of client.
Don't know if you can just use PHP's get_browser() function
Greetings and sorry for my poor english!
