My sony ericcson is my only web-enabled device that I can do testing with so if anyone else has some devices that they could test this site with that would be awesome! (but I digress) When I first enter in the address into my phone, the site, (or rather I should sayt the [b]content[/b]) downloads rather quickly. Using an unordered list for navigation also makes the site easy to navigate. All seems very well but then I noticed the page was still downloading ... and downloading ... and downloading (remeber this is a cell phone, I don't know what kinda bandwidth I get but I know it makes modems look fast) Then all of a sudden one my images finished downloading and was displayed! This is bad! I don't want cell phone users to be waisting precious bandwidth on these images, especially since most of them are just for presentational purposes in a fully graphical browser. I was going to ask if I could provide a cell phone only stylesheet where all images have display set to none, but then I thought that would be pretty silly since I'm almost positive cell phones havn't a clue what to do with CSS. For the same reason, using javascript and the DOM are out as well. I don't want to make seperate page for WAP devices, after all, thats what standards compliance is for right?! So what am I to do? How can I stop these images from getting sent to WAP devices without dirty hacks and non-valid code? [img]http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~co097871/schitzo88x31.gif[/img] Loading...
