Is there a way for my website to redirect handheld and mobile browsers
to another set of pages that are optimized for mobile/tiny browsers?
I've seen this done but I couldn't find any sign of a redirect in the
html.
I've looked for information about this in usenet archives, but to no
avail.
Thanks very much for any help in advance!

The best way is to create a structurally logical page with the proper,
current, and valid HTML. A PDA should display this just fine.

The best way is to create a structurally logical page with the proper,
current, and valid HTML.
And with a flexible layout, of course: no fixed table widths or any
absolute length units.
And with a stylesheet using media type "handheld". This could, for
example, suppress certain decorative images.
A PDA should display this just fine.
I can (with difficulty) think of one or two cases where it might be
necessary to provide a separate page/subsite for a PDA, but offering the
user a link to get to it is much more reliable than trying to redirect
based on browser-sniffing.

In a discussion between AJ Flavel and Spartanicus, The later said.
"Layouts that work well on the desktop and on small screen devices are
single column layouts. Layouts that use more than one column rarely work
properly on a wide range of viewport widths. This also applies to "css"
layouts that use separate "screen" and "handheld" stylesheets due to the
poor support for the handheld media type and it's intrinsic limitations.

Hi,
Is there anything online or downloadable that will allow me to preview
my webpages on handheld devices such as PDA's and xhtml/wap2 mobile
phones? Some kind of emulator service. I would really just like to be
able to preview web pages in various devices.

Hi all,
I want to build a custom 404 error page that using asp will
dynalically build the page.
Here is my problem. I am building a directoy website which has over
3000 categories. I do not want to create a category page for each one
so I though I would try and cheat a little and use the 404 to make it
look as if the page exists and put out the relevant information.

Hi,
I'm about to embark on a .NET project targetted at mobile devices, so
I'm curious if anyone has any tips or potential traps, specifically
with a Blackberry.
I've never used one but I've been told that their could be potential
rendering problems, especially with .NET controls. Is there any truth
to this?

I want to have my ASP.NET app detect what device the user is using. If a
computer, it would go to a normal web page. If a handheld of some sort, it
would go to a page that was designed for that size. What is that size
anyway? I think I've heard 320x240 maybe? Would I just have a normal page
with a small amount of content justified in the very top left of the screen,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
