1/ Are you viewing my stuff and your stuff in a mobile phone /or/ a
mobile phone simulator. If in a you are viewing in a simulator what
you see is not necessarily what you will get in an actual mobile
phone.
I am viewing the pages on a HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5
2/ You are way back in time and space with Opera Mobile 10: Move on up
to Opera Mobile 12. Also install OperaMini/6.5. Recheck all pages with
these current versions and see if they make any difference. If you are
using anything but the latest version of IE Mobile your efforts to
make any or all this happen may slim to none. Make sure that you check
the settings for Opera Mobile 12, OperaMini 6.5, and IE Mobile to see
that the font-size is set at *Medium,* rather than *Large* or *Small."
It seems that there is no Opera Mobile 12 (not even 11) for Windows
Mobile. There is also no Opera Mini 6.5 for my version of Windows
Mobile, only Opera Mini 5.1. I appreciate your recommendations, at the
same time I know that a lot of threads in this list deal with problems
that occur in older browser versions and developers spend a lot of time
to make a website look as good as possible e.g. in IE 6. Of course it is
good to know that a website works all right in the latest browser
versions, but often you also check older versions and want to make the
pages also look as good as possible in them.
For http://nihao.k-risc.de Opera Mini 5.1 automatically zooms out so
that the page fits into the screen, making the font unreadable. Had the
fonts been scaled down proportionally they would have been readable though.
If I zoom in to 100% the dimensions are as in opera Mobile 10.
http://nihao.k-risc.de/ck/ck1.html and the other two pages look better
in Opera Mini 5.1 than in opera Mobile 10.
Just in case anybody is interested in the way my Opera Mini 5.1 renders
the pages, I made new screenshots:

3/ There is a way lock the device width meta tag and disable
font-scaling [which with some device meta tags will throw an h-scroll
when the fonts are scaled]. Personally I do not think much of that
particular method-- but whatever does it for you and yours is the name
of the game. Fwiw, I use simply:<meta name=viewport
content="width=device-width">
O.k., thank you.
4/ My pages do not throw a horizontal scroll bar on landing in the
current stable versions of Opera Mobile, OperaMini , and
Android/2.2.2; and, yes, the green block fits inside the white border
in those same mobile browsers.
Thanks for answering those questions.
If you want me to check any page[s] of yours from this end please send
the url in your post each time you write [some of us either don't have
the time or lack the incentive to look it up].
I will keep that in mind. The pages we are talking about are:
http://nihao.k-risc.de/
http://nihao.k-risc.de/ck/ck1.html (and those linked on that page)
Thanks for all the useful recommendations!
Best regards
Christian
