Hi
I'm currently developing a stylesheet for handheld devices. However
while testing I have noticed that the javascript I've written for
screen browsers is still being implemented while testing with
handhelds, causing a few problems.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can check if the

They ignore stylesheets even if you make one for small screens!
They strip the page headers of meta tags, linked javascript gone is my
guess?

In most cases, sadly they do. The vast majority of sites can't be viewed
This should not happen with Opera browsers (Opera Mini and Opera
Mobile). We specifically ask Google and other search engines not to
give us transcoded results when our users search using their search
engines. If they do then it is a bug and we want to know about it so
we can ask them to

Hi David,
In my experience, you can't guarantee that a mobile device will be a full
fledged 'browser' (like Opera mini or Safari for the iPhone), so you don't know
if JS will be supported on a handheld device. This may be less likely now, but
is still valid.
Example: About 3 - 4 years ago I
Search Engines don't read JavaScript but the question wasn't about
search.
Lots of mobile devices think that they are actually screen browsers so this
may be causing some problems - My phone (Nokia N73) has 2 browsers; one that
reads handheld sheets and one that reads screen sheets.

No idea if it would execute in whatever handheld browser is needed, and my
brief research indicates this style grabbing in javascript is a bit flaky
cross browser even on the desktop, but you might be able to hack something
together that works a lot of the time.
