As far as I know, all major mobile browsers support it. The iPhone/iPod Touch does it because it runs Webkit (and the deflating is handled by Webkit). Nokia uses Webkit too, so yes it supports deflated content. Hell, even the Nintendo DS supports deflated content (their browser is Opera-based). That said, Prototype & scriptaculous still have quite a large footprint for mobile browsers. I would tend to fall back to jquery (or for really basic stuff no framework at all) for the mobile section of our app. Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
