stuff we talked about at Midwest 2010.
Basic techniques
- choose device-specific CSS based on screen width:
<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="desktop.css" TYPE="text/css" media="screen,projection,tv and (min-width: 501px)"> <link rel="stylesheet" media="handheld, screen and (max-width: 500px)" href="smallscreen.css" type="text/css">
- or put the query in your css file;
@media screen and (min-width: 400px) and (max-width: 700px) { ... }
- set the "viewport" on the device so the page scales to an appropriate size
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
