    The real test are these web links:

    http://catapult.winserver.com/public/js/mobile/demos

    If these pages WORK for the devices:

    desktops and main browsers with HTML5 support
    iphones with safari (has HTML5 support)
    droids with chrome (has HTML5 support)

    then this is recommended direction to take your web site to. We will
    try to help with making the templates work across the board. That is
    why I am using the demos pages as a test site.

    Check it out and see how these UI pages work on your devices and also
    normal desktop browsers.

    Thanks

    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
