Search Engines don't read JavaScript but the question wasn't about search.....
Lots of mobile devices think that they are actually screen browsers so this may be causing some problems - My phone (Nokia N73) has 2 browsers; one that reads handheld sheets and one that reads screen sheets. Can I ask what javascript you are trying to serve that would be different on a handheld browser rather than a screen browser? Ben On 01/03/07, Tim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Will major search engines for phones take any notice of javascript? Google http://www.google.com/xhtml/ Ask http://m.ask.com/ They ignore stylesheets even if you make one for small screens! They strip the page headers of meta tags, linked javascript gone is my guess? Should we give up making pages for small screen? Just W3C validate and accessibility test. Some user agents in server logs show a different user agent phone type like nokia et al.
