Actually i don't know any specific pitfalls to build web site for cell phone, in this case i build a specific CSS that disable image and positioning attribute. I also specify the text size in Em (that wold be a reasonable mannet to adapt text to screen size). Surely, now cell-phone are interesting device to use for view web pages, but i think that we have to wait a pair of year until this medium will explode in this sense. In order to develop a web site for cell phone i think that the best solution is write a standard compliant Css/XHTML code and try&test it extensively
the device indipendence is actually possible, even if you consider flash. last Saturday i went to a press conference were has been presentef the last version of www.fotografiafestival.it, the official site of the international photo festiva in Rome(Italy). I know personally the developer and i can assure that they have made a great work to bouid a flash site that display accessible (triple A conformance), cross-browser and device indipendent. If you want you can surf into fotografiafestival also with your cell phone. i don't know exactily the hacks that they have used to do so, but as i can understand, the real problem to solve regard the plugin detection. thanks to a well formed javascript they are able to build a site compeletely accessible and browser indipendent. (and we speak about a site on photo and image builded in flash). Take a look and try it with different browser (also a screen reader). www.fotografiafestival.it On 4/16/05, Kvnmcwebn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am only now starting to think about cell phones as a valid medium for > veiwing web pages. > What are some common pitfalls of building websites with regards to device > independence-especially when considering flash? > If any meadia in your xhtml doc will degrade to basic html/css sans plug ins > are we safe enough? > > Thanks > -Kvnmcwebn > > ****************************************************** > The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ > > See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > for some hints on posting to the list & getting help > ****************************************************** > > ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
