[css-d] Hack or conditional comments for small screen aps?
I had several long pages (requested to make them that way) with fixed menus on the left that are specific to each page. During a site redesign, the left menu area was required to be the same for all pages and not to include many levels of choices. So I moved the fixed menus to right. But now they do not show on cell phones (the new site has fixed widths). Is there a hack or conditional comment that would allow me to change the left positioning of the fixed menu when it is viewed on a cell phone browser? It is currently set at 737px, which, I realize, wouldn't display on a screen narrower than 800px either. Otherwise I will just have to put in a lot of return-to-tops and/or repeat the menu options throughout the page.

A way to get the same result is via Server Side Scripting to send a tailored set of CSS. Note that I am NOT advocating this method but only pointing it out. __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
