Like it or hate it, the Apple iPhone has ushered in the age of the “Smartphone” which in turn has delivered mobile web-browsing to the masses. The mobile browser, whilst now broadly quite capable (at least on leading platforms), has introduced a slightly different set of requirements in terms of design and development of Websites.
Many, many designers, developers and others have written articles on how to design and/or develop for the mobile browser. I am aiming to summarise what I have learnt from several sources alongside my experience an opinion in a (hopefully) relatively quick and simple way

I thought this would be very simple and indeed it was but it threw up a JavaScript quirk which I have seen several times before. The solution is simple, but More >

In an effort to stay ahead or at least alongside the game, I am starting to investigate the upcoming technologies of HTML5 and associated Javascript. In this article, i’ll cover a simple example of Javascript localStorage/sessionStorage, how to detect on-line/off-line status and off-line cache Manifest files.

window Adobe Flash is still very popular despite the massive improvements in Javascript animation over recent years. However, some important devices such as the Apple IPhone lack the capability to display Flash movies. Because of this and due to my immutable desire to produce W3C compliant HTML, I’ve recently had to think about the method I use to embed Adobe Flash movies in a web page.
This article is a short review of the two methods I consider best.
