Hi Tee, as well as Opera Mini 3.n, it is probably worth trying the Opera Mini 4 beta http://www.operamini.com/beta/ - I use both to test blog templates, as 4 beta renders closer to a desktop browser (desktop browser with magnifier, anyhow).
Just on the mobile browsing experience - Ryan Healy of http://employeeevolution.com/ uses the WP Mobile Edition plugin that renders a very navigable site when viewed from small format browsers (but doh! forgets to include an RSS link out of the box). My guess is that portable/handheld browsing is going to become more of an issue rather than less as time goes by - anyone have any thoughts around this?

I ran the site in Opera Mini and a few from DW Device Center, it renders quite closely. The obvious different is that there are two "Thiess Kents" logo, one big, one small, the small one overlapping the "Engineers & Constructors" Opera Mini puts the horizontal menu in a tree menu with a "+ (expand)" icon, is this how you set the mobile stylesheet renders it? Padding left are gone for paragrahy and heading elements in the Device center (just like my pixel perfect three cols layout). I never see a website in a handheld device (my cellphone allows me to brows the internet but I am unwilling to test it as I don't know how much it will cost when the bill arrives ), therefor willing to give a benefit of doubt for the Adobe DM Device Center. tee ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
