Thanks, that's an interesting read! It's astonishing, how bad standards are implemented in mobile browsers. The summary seems to be to either use adaptation, which means to optimize the code to a variety of browsers/phone models (recommended way) or to use a very limited subset, a least common denomiator. Things that are not recommended to use for mobile pages are such simple things such as: - Use only simple inline-CSS or none - Do not try to colour links - Cookies are not reliable - Page caching may lead to problems > Hermann, as a test you could try setting a cookie, do an http redirect and > see if your cookie is accessible. Yes that's an option, thanks. However, it seems, the better praxis is to entirely avoid cookies for mobile clients and store a session key in the URL.
