> Any suggestions on creating stylesheets specific to wireless?
Well, obviously, declare your css with media="handheld", then style your page accordingly :) Remember that screen sizes are *small*, so fixed widths are a no-go. Use % instead of px. Same for fixed font sizes. Use em rather than px for font sizes, for example. Big images are also a no go. Big file sizes are going to eat up costly bandwidth for the poor wireless user. Big files (pixel wise) are going to force horizontal scrolling. Where possible, reduce de number of images, or eliminate them completely. Eliminate elements that are not completely necessary. People who use their wireless to access a site are not there for the design, they want to find the content quickly, access the content quickly, and be on their merry way. If your site has big menus, you may want to deliver a limited menu for the wireless/mobile/handheld. For example, deliver only top level list items for menus using nested lists. Use links to "skip navigation" and "skip menus" right at the top, so people who don't want to scroll down can just jump to it (that's a good practice on any site anyway). Use bold colours, try to keep in the "web safe" range. While we can get away from using web safe colours anymore for the PC (in most cases), the screen quality of handhelds still leave to be desired, and you're better off keeping within that web safe range. In other words, simplify, simplify, simplify :) Cheers Nic ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
