    Well, I see something simple for people to try to get your web site
    MOBILE ready. Its a start, but it works with the following meta header:

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />

    This helps to begin the scaling correctly for all devices, including
    desktop browsers. Its not perfect but at least the buttons and text
    are bigger. Pages will be changes in in there to accomodate mobile
    devices.

    I did this in the several pages:

    @IF BROWSER.PLATFORM = "iphone"@
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    @ENDIF@

    This will test for a iPhone browser. What I need to know is what browser.xxxxxxxx properties are available for the android devices
    (i.e. google stuff). You can test the browser on your device by
    going to:

    http://beta.winserver.com/public/UserBrowserStatus.wct

    and tell me what it says for your device web access to this page for
    the following:

    BROWSER.VERSION =
    BROWSER.NAME =
    BROWSER.PLATFORM =

    thanks

    I did the following a long time ago, maybe it can help:
    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--

    var message="";
    ///////////////////////////////////
    function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
    function clickNS(e) {if (document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
    if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
    if (document.layers) {document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;} else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}

    document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
    // -->
    </script>
    </head>
