Sorry, checked this this morning and I got the Conditional: Moble I've not heard of the viewport meta tag before.
It took me a long time trying to figure out why sites like CNN, and Microsoft were able to make their pages look better on the phone. I originally thought it was something in the CSS... but it wasn't until I did a dump of one of the mobile microsoft pages that I noticed the doctype... Dont want to admit how much time I wasted on that. :-) On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 7:44 AM, The Editor <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting. I'm not familiar with this standard.
