Could you please provide a general list of handheld devices that this template will display on in a usable format? Also, I would like to edit the handheld layout file and what is displayed. Guidance would be appreciated. The iPhone layout is nice – handheld not nice.

Thanks

As far as I can see, the T3 Framework is detecting mobile browsers, and based on that is submitting respective layout.
This is the list of “mobile devices”: ‘iphone’,’android’,’opera’,’blackberry’,’palm’,’windows’ (but actually, those are browsers installed on them).

There are 2 layouts for handheld devises available:
“iphone”, and
“handheld” (for all other mobile browsers)

But both layouts display only the main content block

<blocks name=”middle”>
<block name=”content-mass-top” style=”raw”>ja-news-mobile</block>
</blocks>

The difference is that layout for iphone is loading its own CSS and supporting JS script.

What exactly you don’t like (and what’s the difference) in handheld view?

I’ve looked the code for each layout. So it sounds like in order to not have things not display I would need to do it via a stylesheet? Lets say I didn’t want the header for footer displayed but just the menu and the ja-news-mobile. I thought I could create a new layout and leave those elements out. I looked at our website on a Droid and it doesn’t display well. The navigation is in a small drop down – and it is displaying things that I would like not to in order to clean-up the interface.

Trying to learn what can be done – thanks
