I have to convert a client site to enable phone users to use the site and I was wondering what is the best method to detect the mobile user agent and switch the css sheet?
As far as i have seen, there are a few ways to do this - which is best? (or maybe the way to put it is 'least bad') [A] a link at the top of the normal page, linking to a mobile version of the page. (yuk) [B] javascript detection (but there are thousands of mobile devices to detect. YUK ) [C] Use CSS @media handheld (but many cell phones don't support the handheld media type ) [D] server side detection using CGI.User_Agent (but there are so many user agents to detect) [E] screen resolution detection (but is that reliable?) Are there any other ways to do this? How do the rest of you handle serving pages to both computer screens and mobile device screens?? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion 9 Enterprise, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340547 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
