Building For Mobile, Auto mobile re-directs, etc

[JoshWhiteDesign]

Hey guys,

I’m currently in the middle of researching how one would develop a site to support both normal users and mobile users. I’m looking at this post that Chris did (https://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascri … e-devices/) on mobile re-directs. It’s a piece of the puzzle, but I’m not getting a very clear picture. Even reading w3c and several other sources, I’m getting an incomplete picture.

Is there a standard file that a mobile browser looks for? Like mobile.html instead of index.html?

I’ve noticed that some sources say that you should use the media type, like this:

Code:

But it seems that all mobile browsers don’t support it.

I’m sure a good amount of it is trial and error, just curious if anyone has some basic answers for me to build a foundation on.
