This is not really a PHP question. I understand your asking it, though. Does anyone know of a better list or whatever for generic web designer questions? To your question, there are two problems: 1) Looking for a browser signature is a needle/haystack proposition, and the haystack is enormous, and it gets bigger every time a new phone/tablet model comes out; 2) Screen size used to be a good indicator, but as I feared when people first started using screen resolution as the main indicator, the screens on mobile devices have become progressively more and more capable. Some of them are better than many desktops I've seen. So I'd be interested in the answer to the question myself. Paul -- Paul M.
