[Web4lib] Mobile identification code

[Chester D. Mealer]

Dawn,

Yes it's complex and there's not a fool proof way of doing, just a few solutions which will help you catch most mobile users.

Since you didn't mention what language you need the snippet in, I'll recommend you start looking for a solution here: http://webdesign.about.com/od/mobile/a/detect-mobile-devices.htm

Overall, perhaps the best solution  is to begin the page with a "mobile site" link in addition to the snippet.

Subject: [Web4lib] Mobile identification code

I don't know to which e-list I should be directing this question. I need the snippet of code that needs to head our Home Page that knows how to identify an incoming user as a mobile user and will direct that user automatically to our mobile site. Is this a fairly direct piece of code, or is it pretty complex? Please let me know what list I need to join to get the answer to this question. Thank you!
