Designing for the Handheld

"Among the few websites that are truly standards-compliant, only a handful sport style sheets adjusted to the needs of handheld devices. Of those which do offer styling for handhelds, not all will fit the smallest, lowest-resolution screens without presenting the user with the ultimate handheld horror: namely, horizontal scrolling.

"The Opera browser runs on handheld devices of all screen sizes and resolutions, some of them only 120 pixels wide. In this article, we’ve prepared a set of general suggestions for creating a handheld-friendly style sheet, along with a few Opera-specific pointers that you may find useful."
