How to serve the right content to mobile browsers

The modern web is viewed on many different devices, so it is getting increasingly important for us to think about how to create our web sites so that they will serve the right content to users, no matter what device they are using. We have many technologies at our disposal, including media types, media queries, browser sniffing, but what's the best way to handle this?

I have created Apache Mobile Filter that allows you to access WURFL from any programming language, not just Java and php that is traditionally used for dynamic mobile web sites.

The module detects the mobile device and passes the WURFL capabilities on to the other web application as environment variables. It can also be used to resize images on the fly to adapt to the screen size of the mobile device.

Now this module is include in http://modules.apache.org

Removing handheld support was the most stupid idea ever. Web is dying

Hello Chris,

My name is Jose Garcia from an SW development company named Grupo CSM (in Spanish).

I want to contact Opera's people for tech support for Nintendo DSi Browse, but I don't know to make it.
In this way I am writting to you because I have had a look over the forums and articles database and I have thought that you are one of the few guys all over the world that can help us.

We are working into a proyect using Nintendo DSI Browse like a cheap and sufficient web terminal. We have contact Nintendo guys (all except superMario) but they don't know anything about your product.

We have solved all the tech problems that we have had to execute our web forms in this taylormade version of the web browse until now.

We don´t want to use input text boxes in our forms. The querty keyboard is too small.
We are using the Nintendo DSi like a ultra small and taylor made laptop.
Top screen: show the form fields.
Bottom screen: taylormade keyboard with only the buttons that you need on each form
We are using the SSR mode of the browse (everything within a unique column) and the forms are adapted to the screen size.

Our problem is that when you push the buttons at the bottom screen, many times the web page scrolls up and down a little bit because the browse thinks that you want to move the page and not to push a button. We need to lock the page and eliminate this scroll function. Is it possible?.

Please contact us or let know this to the correct tech support guys.
Thanks in advance for your help from Spain.
Jose Garcia
