    XHTML Basic 1.1 is recommended for mobile devices.

    Ah, thanks. :)

    I was getting muddled looking at all the different languages - e.g. wml, chtml. I was sure I'd missed something (I had).

    WML is pretty much obsolete nowadays.

    Since XHTML 1.1 is an XML only application, are you guys serving it as XML?

    lol. That's what I thought when I looked on W3 Schools about mobile websites.

    Anyone know how to detect a mobile browser... and more importantly, how to implement it?
