web design for pda (pocket matrix)


web design for pda (pocket matrix)

Postby Structure » Sep 24, 2004 @ 3:53pm

Hi this is a question about web design for mobile devices, ive noticed on the pocket matrix site that if you connect with a mobile device it goes to the mobile sub domain of the site

Was this achieved just using conditional css or did you have a completely different page for the mobile content,

Also I like the way the forum simplifies itself to fit, how was this achieved? Is it built in to the board or did you have to do it yourself,

Don't know how PM do it, but on PocketGamer we simple have a bit of Javascript that looks at the browser type, and then redirects accordingly.

ok, what if java scripts disabled? I guessing it defaults to normal,

And the redirected page, is that made specially, ie you make 2 pages each time?

sorry im not really up on web design, yet i need a site of some kind so im checking things out now,

I like the site... I kinda have the same problem as Structure. I need to recreate my site in Dreamweaver but really need to just get started so that i can do it.
