RE: [WSG] UI development for blackberry.

[Zain Ansari]

 
Hi Naveen,
I have worked recently for my client to design and author (HTML / CSS) his 
website.The mobile version of his site needed to be perfectly work on Iphone, 
blackberry and Android. 
So what I have checked in blackberry, the normal html code structure is same 
like other mobile plateforms for website HTML but you can call black berry as 
Internet explorer of mobiles lolz. The line height, margins sucked in some 
cases, so I developed a new CSS for blackberry and the company's developer (who 
hired me to design for them) code to detect blackberry as the user go for the 
website. and call blackberry.css to layout website for blackberry.
and Yes it supports PNG
Thanks and Regards

The CPU's in phones such as the blackberry are equivalent to about 500MHz or
so... imagine surfing javascript-enhanced content using that kind of CPU.

For example, simply loading JQuery on a page, causes the final page-render
time to increase by quite a few seconds on my Bold 9000  -> I'd suggest
using minimal javascript only where appropriate.

Mathew Robertson

1) Include the following DTDhttp://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd";>
2) Include meta tag 
3) than u need media queries for portrait version and landscape version against 
the main classes which sets your main width.these are called media queries.
For instance, Referring to my code I added following code in bottom area of my 
CSS
@media only screen and (max-width: 999px) {
  /* rules that only apply for canvases narrower than 1000px */
}

@media only screen and (device-width: 768px) and (orientation: landscape) {
  /* rules for iPad in landscape orientation */
}

@media only screen and (min-device-width: 320px) and (max-device-width: 480px) {
  /* iPhone, Android, Blackberry rules here */
}
Enjoy HTML and CSS powers for layout presentation .
Thanks and Regards

Speed optimization is very important for the mobile web. It is to your 
advantage to stick with optimized [1] png-8. Additionally, some handsets 
offer the user the ability to pick "low, medium, or high" image-quality 
in their device "settings."
