HTML - Redirect Mobile Browsers: Bad Practice?

Looking for a hint on how to detect a mobile device and redirect to a mobile webpage. Also what would be the optimal width for a mobile website?

Thanks, Dano

What is the reason that i cannot scroll my site left and right on smartphones ?

I'd like to write a cross-device mobile application/website. I tried to use this:
"<meta name="viewport" content="width=*px" />"
in head although I don't understand how it works. It adjusts auto zoom level on mobile browsers. However what will be set to *px? What does it mean if there's "device-width" in place of *px

I tried to make a form and I checked it out on WM, Symbian and IOS but each phone visualized other.
How can I make this cross-platform?

Please help!

Hi everyone,

What is the code that i will have to enter to my website so mobile phones will be able to access it?

Hi

I recently used an emulator service to see how a page I made would look on mobile devices. note that it's just a web page - not an app for any of them.

Here's the screenshot for four of them:



I want it to look like the last one on mobile phones, so that the screen is filled. how do I do that on the iPhone and in Chrome?

The wrapper DIV width is 302px.

Thanks for your time and help.

Hi all, I thought you might find this report of interest... It is released by www.handsetdetection.com every month and basically gives an insight into mobile web usage and in particular, which are the preferred handsets for consumers to surf the mobile web, by Country.

If you are looking to better understand the growing mobile web sector, and the implications that this has on web marketing, design and development, the data is quite useful.

Hello. I am not sure if this is the correct place for this question. Please direct me if not. I am trying to set a webpage to redirect and display a different page if the first page is accessed from a mobile device (phone). Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I just need to know how to determine what it is viewed on. The redirect part I know already.

Thanks so much for all help!

Hi
I'm a bit of a newbie to any kind of HTML codes
Ive made a Test website so I can try out this piece of software that helps to create mobile web sites using HTML
Here's the Website : http://82.45.130.37/atozcouriers/ftp...001/index.html
Heres the HTML : http://www.2shared.com/document/XdlY...html?(Password :21)
I am using notepad to edit as any web editor messes up the viewing of the website in a Mobile Browser
The mobile Browser is Safari on iPad,iPhone or iPod touch
My problem only happens on one page , the homepage.
It aligns the main body to the right a bit and adds a line
I've experimented a bit but as I'm a newbie I'd don't know what to do.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks keirjohnharry

When I create a test page using DIV and set it to 480 px wide, my iPod Touch does not have it initially filling the screen; I have to double tap it to have it fill the screen.

What step am I missing?

Many thanks...

Hi peeps
So I finally sorted out my website. Tested it on the main browsers and everything was okay.
I uploaded it and then went to show a friend on my Iphone and waddya know, it doesn't display properly.
For some reason the background image tiles 4 times. And this goes for Iphone, Ipad, and Ipod.
There are parts of the site that use flash so It's not optimised for Iwhatevers anyway, but I'd definately like to sort out this "first impression" problem.

The site is an adult site (Don't worry there is nothing more than sexy images to be seen. no genitalia or anything). It's www.xturnmeonx.com

Any ideas peeps.

Hi All,

I was hoping for some help in finding some Beta participants out there who would be interested in trying out our new service. We have just launched in Beta mode. (its free to use). There will also be a free version after the official launch.

The first step is to browse your way over to: http://www.handsetdetection.com/

We hope that this will represent one of the first steps in solving the mobile and web crossover issues which website owners and developers face when people view the site from any device other than a normal computer (I-phone / Balckberry / PDA).

Once connected to our service, when someone visits your site, a live request is sent to us, and we return a result back to you on a live basis with details of the device, screen size, GEOIP, make, model and many other fields of information.

From that point, you can do one of two things:

1. Depending on the result returned, you can then display an appropriate view for the consumer i.e. A website that will fit their device's screen size and UI which is controlled by the way in which they are browsing (i-phones suit touch screen menus, N95's suit joystick controls and so on...)

2. If option 1 is too much of a first leap, after you add the code into your website, you can just login to our online reporting system and view your traffic results based on device make, model, country, city etc... This would be a great first step in understanding whether you are getting traffic to your site from non traditional browsing devices.

As I mentioned, we are in Beta stage, so we would value your feedback on this. Also, if you know of anyone else who may be interested in participating in this Beta stage, I would be grateful if you could pass this message on...

Regards,

Hi guys

I'm thinking of making a mobile friendly version of my karaoke show site. Mainly I'd like to offer a mobile friendly version of my songlist.

I was wondering what the main differences are between a mobile site like this:

https://www2.my.commbank.com.au/mobile/i/default.aspx

And the app version of the above banking site?

I don't have a smart phone yet, so can't check myself, but will be getting one soon to aid in the site development.

Does anyone know of a good tut on making mobile sites that fit the screen of a mobile?

Cheers

Hi.

Is there any code out there that will detect whether a visitor to a website is using a mobilephone? If they are, I want the code to automatically send them to my mobile version of my site. I'm guessing it maybe somekind of resolution detection???

The BBC website can do this. Does anybody know how?
