The result was good when looking at the page = from a "phone" developer mode in Firefox/Safari but on a real phone it = was not the intended result.

I'm just brushing up the CSS = skills that I had 20 years ago and the technology has evolved a huge lot = to answer the needs of mobile browsers. Maybe you've heard the term = already, it is called "responsive design" and it aims at making a page = flow better when the form is constrained by smaller displays. > To clarify: it's never occurred to me to look at such docs on my = phone, > so it's probably not an important use case. No, it is. Especially when you want to *read* the manual/reference. I'll get back to the list with a useable proposal. Sorry for the noise. > Stefan "whose phone's browser has more pixels than his = desktop's" Same here. It's my first mobile phone in about 10 years. I'm shocked at = how fast things have changed. Although I was just thinking that the = maximum 1kb offset of the charset declaration from the beginning of an = HTML file is the same amount of useable memory my ZX81 had when I bought = it about 40 years ago...
