Forgot to actually look at this. Looks fine on my G1. One minor
interesting thing I have noticed though is I think due to the G1's
browser and how it treats caching. I accessed the page in portrait and
it looked fine, then rotated to landscape without reloading, which
made a few things in the

Generally the advice is to try to build your web sites so they will
work across mobile and desktop
Thanks, I'll look into those.
I just can't believe someone is suggesting I am against internet standards.
I have gone on about them for longer than most people would have thought
possible. I printed out my first RFCs on a teleprinter... lol

Right.
After some considerable messing around, I have created a version of the
WURFL system that works on the LAMP server I use.
Well, I hope it does.

Trying to match the style/layout of a site to the expected resolution
of the device that you think is displaying it is going about it the
wrong way - this is why CSS has percentage widths for doing layouts.
Or is the question more about what you can send back to the server in
order to choose an
I agree with the first paragraph and then you lose me beyond that.
M.whatever.com serving mobile optimised pages using good CSS 'should' work
on any platform.
If you want to optimise per platform then go ahead but the return is low
value IMO.
The only platform I'd bother with is iPhone if I
Ian,
Yes, I agree.
The width and height is of the maximum picture size. I'm going to use
percentages in the CSS for the textual layout, but the images need to be the
right size for the device, in particular the site header.
And then there is the question of the phone supporting CSS!

If this is specifically designed for mobile, e.g. m.facebook.com or
x.facebook.com and you've already determined if the user is on a
mobile device or not, there's not much more on the server you can
reliably do to determine the screen size. For more recent smart phones

Your points are all good.
My general idea was to do something like these single tall colum mobile
sites. Certain search engines like to have the m. as a prefix to denote a
mobile site.

We support phones usually through m.domain where the customer pays us
to write a specific version otherwise we'd consider graceful

Writing a mobile version is usually about delivering a significantly

Hi,
The only problem I have with the wurfl.sourceforge.net system is that the
server I pay for has a memory limit (Allowed memory size of 68157440 bytes
exhausted) and I can't unpack the XML file to the cache.
But an online service would be great for mobile sites.
There could be several ways to

The problem I had with Javascript before was that quite a lot of time it is
disabled, and that it is usually better with mobile devices to sort all the
formatting out on the server, as almost every mobile browser I know sucks.
