Is there a best way to design web pages for Smartphones or PDA devices?
There seems to be 2 schools of thought: 1. pages designed specifically for these devices, and 2. that all web pages be designed to work with both PC's and mobile devices. I think most users would be using Windows Mobile 5.0 or 2003 but there may be some using the Palm OS. The little research I have done so far indicates screen size to be the main limiting factor as some devices' screens are vertically taller, or square, and the latest have smaller high definition wide-screens of 320x240 pixels.
For the first school of thought, e.g. pages specifically designed for these devices, I thought of creating an iFramed page and placing the data is in a table with automatic table widths. (CSB Tables>Size and Alignment>Width Percentage e.g. 98%). I just don't know what to do with form field widths as they are fixed. Also most of these devices cannot see Flash as they don't have software installed to run it. For the second school of thought, it would probably mean that the entire site be redesigned, but how to deal with forms, flash etc. which have fixed widths, I don't know. This is a completely new use of CSB and other web design software for me and I would appreciate any ideas.
